Hello,
I have a master workbook with reference numbers. I want a vlookup that will look into another workbook across multiple sheets to find the reference number and pull the name in the 4th column. I do not want to work with macros and I am hoping to do this with a vlookup (or similar formula). I am using Office 2010.
Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
This might work (if there aren't too many tabs).
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A10,'[OtherWorkbook.xls]Tab 1'!$B$7:$E$44,4,FALSE),IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A10,'[OtherWorkbook.xls]Tab 2'!$B$7:$E$44,4,FALSE),VLOOKUP(A10,'[OtherWorkbook.xls]Tab 3'!$B$7:$E$44,4,FALSE)))
