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??

How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
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.
