V Look Ups

Is it possible to create one Look up table saved in it's own file which could be then used in subsequent workbooks or would the look up chart need to be within a file

RE: V Look Ups

Hi Victoria

Thank you for your question

There is no problem here. You can create a file containing all your lookups.

When you want to build a formula that references the lookup, all you need do is open the lookup file and reference the cells in the lookup file using the function wizard.

Be aware however that if you subsequently move the lookup file, you may break the link.It is best therefore to keep the lookup file in the same folder as the other workbooks

Regards

Stephen

Next to it in the Formula Box, enter the formula =Istext(A1. Click Format button , choose desired formatting settings and click OK.
