when creating a formula instead of typing in references, while still in formula bar cursor, change workbooks and/or worksheets required 1 , select required cell/range , formula automatically apply correct workbook name and/or sheet name correct syntax.

to lookup value workbook , worksheet formula following.

the formula example on sheet1 of book2

the value being looked on sheet1 of book1      (this line added after initial posting)

the table array on sheet2 of book2 (same workbook formula different sheet).

=vlookup([book1]sheet1!$a$1,sheet2!$a$1:$b$22,2,false)
