Lookup value from another table

I have a Workbook with tabs and each tab contains a table. Each table is the same format (Column A is ColA, Column B is ColB, etc). One of my tabs is a dashboard, where I want to retrieve values from each tab:

Dashboard tab Column H will look into table Data-A and return the value of Column H from that table.

I have looked at VLOOKUP, but that does not work for my needs when using tables. I have also began playing with INDEX and MATCH, but those are causing me problems because all the examples I see reference a range (A1:B20) rather than using a table name.

Can someone point me in the right direction with what I am attempting to do?
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
