Hi,

I wan't to use the vlookup formula that needs to search with a variable workbookname. This variable workbookname is in cell N15 and what I have is this:

=VLOOKUP("Diameter_ 244.175";'J:\Kwaliteit Helmond\FINAL INSPECTION REPORTS\2018\0_WC_340_Duramax\DuraMax_144751\[N15.xls"]"N15'!$B$1:$K$10000;1;FALSE)

But it will not work..

What is going wrong in this formula??

Click the italics "fx" icon to the left of the formula bar to open the Functions Arguments dialog. Help is displayed for each argument.
HTML:
=INDIRECT(N15&'!$B$1:$K$10000')

In fact I didn't understand your N15 path but it should be something like above. INDIRECT function converts cell values to range addresses.
