=vLOOKUP($A$4,INDIRECT(sheet1!$A$1),2,FALSE)

(sheet1!$A$1) contains a dynamic formular that returns a range name. This range had been found on sheet4 but I need to move it to a seperate file. How do I tell the vLookup formular to look in another file for this dynamic range?

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.

Note
With Indirect, both files will have to be open.

Try revising your lookup by referring to the other SS and then revise your formula.

It may e easier if you name the Lookup Range.
