I think you're missing the square brackets "[]".
I used:
Range("data") = _
"=VLOOKUP(RC[-1],'[" & CarrierGrid & "]OAK'!C1:C5,5,FALSE)"
and it worked great.
(try recording a macro where you insert the formula, then
replace the file name with the "& variable &" syntax.
Just leave the other characters alone!)

Subject: $$Excel-Macros$$ Variable Workbook name used in range formula
Hello all, new to group! I will contribute as I am able, but to
start, I am really hoping someone can help me with a problem.
I have a named workbook as follows:
CarrierGrid = Range("O" & CStr(R)) & " " & Range("Control!B4").Value &
".xls"
This is giving me CarrierGrid as "HDMU 08.31.xls", which is what it is
for this particular row "R".
Later, I have the following:
Range("data") = "=vlookup(R[-1]C,'" & CarrierGrid & "'OAK!L:R,
7,False)"
I'm trying to do a lookup in the above workbook "HDMU 08.31.xls", onto
tab called "OAK". However, the formula is reading it as workbook
"08.31.xlsOAK".
Any ideas on how I get the named workbook CarrierGrid into a formula
for a range in VBA?
Thanks much all!
