I have 2 spreadsheets. Spreadsheet "b" has multiple arrays defined. I want to bring values from these arrays into spreadsheet "A".

I have an existing VLOOKUP statement that accomplishes the basic purpose. Here is an example:
=VLOOKUP(E70,'Quotes+Orders_Worksheet_2018.xlsx'!NWINTLAY120,3)

The problem is that I would like to be able to replace the NWINTLAY120 array with another array, based on a value in a cell.

For example, I have a value in cell g71 that is SWINTLAY200. I want to be able to use this value and create a new VLOOKUP statement that says, for example:
=VLOOKUP(E71,'Quotes+Orders_Worksheet_2018.xlsx'!SWINTLAY200,3)

I would like to do this without the use of VBA or macros.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
What is the cell address the array name is based on? If A1, then try:
Code:
=VLOOKUP(E70,[U]INDIRECT("'Quoates+Orders_Worksheet_2018.xlsx'!"&[COLOR=#0000ff][B]A1[/B][/COLOR])[/U][COLOR=#0000ff][/COLOR],3,0)
