Hi All

I am trying to make a dynamic reference to a table array in a Vlookup formula.
The Table arrays points to a closed workbooks "C:\Dropbox\Agriseed\Present Trials\2018\Grass\Perennials\[Trial Data FLP1801.xlsx]FLP1801" So i can't use Indirect to the first table below.
In B5 of the second table below i have now the formula "=VLOOKUP(B$4,FLP_1801,6+$A5,0)" which brings back O2 reference (Fresh1) of the closed workbook FLP1801 of first table below and in C5 of the second table below I have "=HLOOKUP(B5,FLP_1801,2,0)" which brings back O3 reference (22 May 2018) of the closed workbook FLP1801 of the first table below
As you can see the table array is a defined Name range from the fisrt table above to the workbook spreadsheet which is close and gets update from another party.
i would like to make a formula were the table array refers to A$2 (FLP1801) of the second table below or a reference to the last table below within the same workbook but on the Input sheet G2 FLP_1801 is found by using the No1 out of the second table below B1. or an address formule maybe?
Or any other clever formula you people come up with. I do not want to use VBA as this has other problems for me.

Many thanks and hope to hear all the smart ways of solving this one.
Cheers Joost
