Hi

This is probably a stupid question but ...

I have several dozen vlookup formula running off a spreadsheet (call it Sheet 4) that is sent in from another department.

If a new Sheet 4 is sent and saved in my folder over writing the old one, I will obviously get a ref error in my vlookup formulas .. but is there a way to avoid this. i don't particularily want to have to re-reference all my formulas for the new Sheet 4.

The format of Sheet 4 will be identical to the old one and my vlookup table array will be the same (Sheet4F:U)

regards

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
I think that the Indirect function should help you here. Something like indirect("Sheet4!F:U")
