Dear friends, Suppose i have two workbooks named w1 and w2. I want to create a formula that looks into these workbooks and gives me the right answer into my third workbook w3 as long as those two workbooks are opened.
Suppose that columns in w3 have the following information: column A Column B John 30 Joseph 18 Maria 50 Diasy ? how can i write my formula in w3 column B to get the answers as in column B if the first two names are from w1 and the last 2 names are from w2? currently i am using the formula below to give the information from w1 only but i want to do it at once in one formula for both the workbooks? My w1 was saved as w1.21-01-2011 =IFERROR(VLOOKUP($A1,INDIRECT("'["&&q uot;w1."&IF(DAY(I$3)<10,"0"& ;DAY(I$3),DAY(I$3))&"-"&IF(MONTH(I$3)<10,"0"&MO NTH(I$3),MONTH(I$3))&"-"&YEAR(I$3)&".xls"&" ;]"&"Sheet1"&"'!$A:$Q& quot;),2,FALSE),"-") i hope my question is clear and waiting your usual replies kindest regards, John ________________________________ This e-mail message and any attachment hereto are confidential information intended for a specific addressee and purpose.
