Hi,

I wan't to use the vlookup formula that needs to search with a variable workbookname. This variable workbookname is in cell N15 and what I have is this:

=VLOOKUP("Diameter_ 244.175";'J:\Kwaliteit Helmond\FINAL INSPECTION REPORTS\2018\0_WC_340_Duramax\DuraMax_144751\[N15.xls"]"N15'!$B$1:$K$10000;1;FALSE)

But it will not work..

What is going wrong in this formula??
 

Excel Facts

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
HTML:
=INDIRECT(N15&'!$B$1:$K$10000')

In fact I didn't understand your N15 path but it should be something like above. INDIRECT function converts cell values to range addresses.
