Hi,
i'm trying to vlookup some comments from different workbooks but with the same name.
so i stored the names in an array.

i got 2 problems here,

1. first vlookup runs without an error but doesnt return any result
2. second vlookup gives error 1004; Application-defined or object deifned error

here's the code

Code:
For Each TabName In Array("report", "Pending", "Created")
        
        On Error GoTo NextTabName8
                      
            If TabName = "report" Then
            
                VLatCell = "T3"
                AutoFillIndicator = "R3"
                
                Windows("Work_Order_Report__Weekly_Repo.xlsx").Activate
                Sheets(TabName).Select
                Range("T1").Value = TabName
                Range(VLatCell).Select
                ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
                    "=VLOOKUP(RC[-5],'[Work Order Report - 8 Week.xlsx]" & "TabName" & "'!C15:C20,6,0)"
                    
                Range(AutoFillIndicator).Select
                Selection.End(xlDown).Select
                ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Select
                Range(Selection, "T3").Select
                Selection.FillDown
            
            Else
            
            
                VLatCell = "S2"
                AutoFillIndicator = "R2"
                
                        
                Windows("Work_Order_Report__Weekly_Repo.xlsx").Activate
                Sheets(TabName).Select
                Range(VLatCell).Select
                ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
                    "=VLOOKUP(RC[-4],'[Work Order Report - 8 Week.xlsx]" & "TabName" & "'!C15:C19,5,0)"
                    
                Range(AutoFillIndicator).Select
                Selection.End(xlDown).Select
                ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Select
                Range(Selection, "S2").Select
                Selection.FillDown
        
            End If

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Nevermind,
i've got it.



ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=VLOOKUP(RC[-4],'[Work Order Report - 8 Week.xlsx]" & "TabName" & "'!C15:C19,5,0)"


is supposed to be




ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=VLOOKUP(RC[-4],'[Work Order Report - 8 Week.xlsx]" & TabName & "'!C15:C19,5,0)"
