VLOOKUP

Hi All!
I am using a VLOOKUP thus
=VLOOKUP(A1,TABLEONE,3,0), where TABLEONE is a named range in an adjacent sheet. I have a series of named ranges, TABLEONE, TABLETWO, TABLETHREE, etc and depending on which set of data I am using determines which table to reference. I wish to change the range the VLOOKUP uses by just changing a reference cell, say B1.
=VLOOKUP(A1,"CELL B1",3,0), eg if B1 contents were "TABLETWO" then resulting VLOOKUP would be
=VLOOKUP(A1,TABLETWO,3,0)

SO basically I wish to change the range in the series of VLOOKUPS by changing just cell B1
Any ideas appreciated.
Cheers!!

Hi

I covered this sort of thing in my last months newsletter. You can see it here:

Under Issue 10. basically you use the INDIRECT and CHOOSE function
