Custom function for vlookup

M

Madiya

I have a master file which I regularly use to get data by way of vlookup.
Each time I use vlookup, i have to open the master file and type the formula.

Is there a short way to get the data without typing full vlookup formula?

I thought one option as custom function.
Is there any other option?
I am doing it may be 80-90times a day, so a shortcut will save lots of time.

Pl guide.

A bit more detail would be helpful. If the formlula is in the master file and is looking up in a slave file then wouldn't the master file be open??? You may send your file with a slave to dguillett1 @gmail.com if desired.

Write a custom function in a module in the personal.xlsb file. You can access it from the VB editor. Your function should access your master workbook.. For that you will have to store that in a particular location. Next time you open some file then this custom function will be available to you.
