This is the ideal formula I'm using and it returns what I need. Is there a way to drag this down where the Sheet reference increases as well? ('Sheet1' will automatcially increase to 'Sheet 2' in 2011, to 'Sheet3' in 2012, etc.?

Thanks in advance

Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)
You may use a macro
You want to drag down, column A from row1 until the last row ??
It a always start with Sheet1 ?

You can put a list of Sheetnames in a column, example starting at H1

Then in your VLOOKUP sheet reference part use INDIRECT(H1)

Do i need to put the sheet names in parenthesis?

I tried this: =vlookup($B1,INDIRECT(H1).$A$1:$D$4,2,0)) but not working


H1 = Sheet1
H2 = Sheet2

etc

=vlookup($B1,indirect("Sheet" & row(a1) &"!$A$1:$D$4"),2,0)


(if the sheet names are literally sheet1, sheet2, sheet3......)

No their names alternate. Some are years 2003 - 2017, and some are 1.9, 1.10, 1.11 etc.

I edited mine to look like yours assuming "Sheet" would be "2003", but #REF error

=vlookup($B1,INDIRECT("2003"&"!$A$1:$D$4)2,0)

also tried this just in case, but figured the row part was not needed.

=vlookup($B1,INDIRECT("2003" & ROW(A1) &"!$A$1:$D$4)2,0)
