use VLOOKUP without mentioning table

Hallo all,

Im having some difficuliets with the VLOOKUP function. I would like to type the name of the product and have the price show up next to it.

First of all I made a list and gave each section its own table. For example Tomato has the table: Veggies & Eggs has the table: Diary.

 

Here I use: =VLOOKUP(Eggs,Diary,FALSE)*Amount

This works fine, but I would like to do it without manually typing the table name into the formula

I also tried to take the table name out of the formula by putting it next to it. This also didnt work, I got the error #N/A.

 

How can I make this so the formula searches in every table for the right word, instead of having to put the table name in the formula manually each in time?

 

Thank you

      Thank you! This worked.
      Do you know if its possible to not mention the tabble array at all? Or make VLOOKUP search in all the table arrays? For example =VLOOKUP(C4,Diary;Veggies;Carbs,2,FALSE)*D4
