Vlookup in VBA

[bobkap]

I need to use a vlookup in my macro. I do NOT want to activate the worksheet as shown here in my code below. This line works, but darned if I can figure out the way to write the code that will work without first activating that worksheet.

Sheets("Promo").Activate
Custname = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(procode, Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(62, 2)), 2, False)

I've tried this line below but I got an error:


Custname = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(procode, Sheets("Promo").Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(62, 2)), 2, False)


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If the file is open then you need to specifiy the workbook and sheet for each range object (Range and Cell). If you want to can declare variables so you do not have to type out everything

[COLOR=#333333]Custname = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(procode, workbooks("namehere.xlsx").Sheets("sheetnamehere").Range([/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]workbooks("namehere.xlsx").Sheets("sheetnamehere").[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]Cells(1, 1),[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]workbooks("namehere.xlsx").Sheets("sheetnamehere").[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333] Cells(62, 2)), 2, False)[/COLOR]

Try...

 Custname = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(procode, Sheets("Promo").Range(Sheets("Promo").Cells(1, 1), Sheets("Promo").Cells(62, 2)), 2, False)
