Question About Formula

**puuts** · 06-11-2014, 03:39 PM

Hello,

I have a variable that store a file directory:


Dim eSAUK as String

eSAUK = "\\corpusfs12\PROJECT-REPORTS\Pathfinder Reporting\Heather Lations\EMEA WEEKLY PHONE REPORT\2014\EMEA SA UK.xlsx"

and a vlook formula:


ActiveCell.Formula = "=VLOOKUP(B3,'[" & eSAUK & "]Table1'!$A:$B,2,0)"

Instead of returning:

=VLOOKUP(B3,'[\\corpusfs12\PROJECT-REPORTS\Pathfinder Reporting\Heather Lations\EMEA WEEKLY PHONE REPORT\2014\EMEA SA UK.xlsx]Table1!$A:$B,2,0)

it return like this:


=VLOOKUP(B3,'[\\corpusfs12\PROJECT-REPORTS\Pathfinder Reporting\Heather Lations\EMEA WEEKLY PHONE REPORT\06.12.2014\[EMEA SA UK.xlsx]Table1]EMEA SA UK.xlsx]Table1'!$A:$B,2,0)

it doubles. Can anyone help me to sort this out?

hi.

does this work for you?

eSAUK = "'\\corpusfs12\PROJECT-REPORTS\Pathfinder Reporting\Heather Lations\EMEA WEEKLY PHONE REPORT\2014\[EMEA SA UK.xlsx]"

ActiveCell.Formula = "=VLOOKUP(B3," & eSAUK & "Table1'!$A:$B,2,0)"
