CarlMatDi , your named range is referring to only one column A3 to A500 (=>excel knows about only one column), but you are mentioning 4 in the Vlookup formula , so excel cannot recognize the 4th column, that is why it is returni ng #REF error
For Vlookup to return the value on 4th column starting from column A, your named range should be something like =Movil!$A$3:$D$500
