Insert a formula from another sheet based on same cell values

Question

I have a master workbook with two columns: names and formulas, which are specific for certain names. Generally, there are some 300 different names and 10 different formulas. What I need is to insert that formula in another sheet when some of this names appear - some kind of vlookup formula which won't give me value but formula.

And second part of a problem is how to make this formula (if it can be somehow inserted) dynamic and use relative values for calculation from same row in calculation sheet....

Answer 1

Goran, please see my simulation below. My formula is F3 (ignored = sign) and its name is Name1 . For test purpose I typed 7 into cell F3 and 8 into cell F4

With the formula below I typed in sheet2, I am able to call the formula of =F3 and change the reference given to cell F3 to F4 and reach to result of 8 in master sheet.

=INDIRECT("Master!"&SUBSTITUTE(VLOOKUP("Name1",Master!$I$3:$J$10,2,FALSE),"3","4"))

Maybe you can solve your puzzle by using functions I used in above simulation ( INDIRECT and SUBSTITUTE ).

thanks for helping me out... What I want is that:

My master table look like this enter image description here

And in my calculation sheet I want to get something like this: enter image description here
