A1 = "3" :: B("A1") = B3

Posted by David Megnin on June 21, 2001 3:12 PM

Is it possible to use the value of a cell as the row reference of another cell?

e.g. cell A1 contains the value "3",
in cell C1 I want a formula like B("A1")to equal "B3"
so that if the value in A1 changes to "5" then C1 would
equal "B5".

I've experimented with different syntaxes with no succes. B"A1", B(A1), B("A1") all resulted in errors.

Thanks in advance,
david

=address(a1,column(B:B))

or simply

=address(a1,2)
