I am trying to return the value of a cell using the cell reference address.

For example, Cell N9 has a value of 75.
I have the location of that cell, ie "N9".
So I want a formula to return the actual contents or value of "N9" which would be 75.
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
sorry let me rephrase.
Cell K1 has the value "N9".
Cell N9 has the value of 75.
In Cell A1 i want a formula to reference the value in K1 (which would be "N9") and then return the value of that cell (which is really N9) so it returns "75".
