Paul,
Thank you for your patience . . . I now see it! Steve From: excel-macros@googlegroups.com [mailto:excel-macros@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Paul Schreiner Sent: Sunday, November 26, 2017 9:53 PM To: excel-macros@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ Lookup variable sheet name I understand THAT, but if you create your vlookup command "manually" (or with a wizard) instead of with the Indirect() statement: Your vlookup syntax says basically: Vlookup(what you're looking FOR, What table you're looking IN, what column you wish to RETURN) I GET that for the GE symbol in row 2, you're looking in a table in the GE SHEET. (and I presume the OHI, TGT, KSS, etc. symbols look in the corresponding sheets) But you cannot look for "GE" in the GE sheet because it doesn't ever show up there! The only place the symbols show up in the sheets is in the TITLE. so, since you're looking for the closing price on each sheet, I assumed the closing price is in J1 of your StockQuotes sheets and this date appears in each of the Symbol sheets. In the attached file, I changed the date in J1 to match an entry in the data sheets, then "fixed" the vlookup() Paul ----------------------------------------- “Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can.” - John Wesley ----------------------------------------- On Saturday, November 25, 2017 10:53 AM, Steve Weaver <steveweave...@comcast.net <mailto:steveweave...@comcast.net> > wrote: Hi Paul, Thank you for your response.
