Hello all
I'm trying to create a Vlookup formula which changes the data array dependant on the the value of a data validation list choice.
like the following

if "2018" is selected it would be =VLOOKUP(B8,'Updated COV Boundaries'!$C$4:$D$54,2,FALSE)
if "2019" is selected it would be =VLOOKUP(B8,'Updated COV Boundaries'!$E$4:$F$54,2,FALSE)
if "2020" is selected it would be =VLOOKUP(B8,'Updated COV Boundaries'!$G$4:$H$54,2,FALSE)

Etc.

Does this make sense? Is it possible?

Click the italics "fx" icon to the left of the formula bar to open the Functions Arguments dialog. Help is displayed for each argument.
N.B. My post shows n/a; I do not have your data.
Edit the range as necessary. A2 on my example is a number; revise the formula if it is Text.
