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.
 
Thanks for reply.

Is there any other way by way of formulas or using names etc?
