根据单元格值在VLOOKUP-Function中创建矩阵的工作表名称

Question

I've got a working VLOOK-Function. The Matrix is on a different worksheet. Here is my function (in german):

=SVERWEIS($A1;Haus!$B$13:$K$100;7;falsch)

=VLOOKUP($A1,Haus!$B$13:$K$100,7,false)

I have lot of different worksheets and I do not want rewrite each formula by replacing Haus with the name of a different worksheet.

Is it possible to call the name from a cell? I want to have in Row 1 all worksheetnames and in row two the VLOOKUP-Function. In my imagination it should then be possible to drag the formula right and it autocompletes the formula with the right names.

A1 Haus

A2 =VLOOKUP($A1,Haus!$B$13:$K$100,7,false)

B1 Boot

B2 =VLOOKUP($A1,Haus!$B$13:$K$100,7,false)

C1 Pool etc.

I tried it with CELL("Content", A$1)&"!"$B$13:$K$100 inside the VLOOKUP-Function but it did not work as expected.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Check out the INDIRECT function. Say you have your sheet name in A1 and the value that you want to look for is in A2. You could have formula in A3 like

=VLOOKUP(A2, INDIRECT(A1&"!$B$13:$K$100"), 7, FALSE)
