What is the meaning of =+Sheet3!L26 ?
is it something as activeCell = Sheet3+L26 ?
 

Excel Facts

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.

Instead of "=" we can use "+" to arrive the formula.

After arrived the formula its shows like "=+Sheet3!L26 "

"=+Sheet3!L26 " or "+Sheet3!L26 " both are same, both formula will give same answers!!

If u hit " CTR+{ " that will show the reference of sheet3

Its a formula pulling in the value from Sheet3 cell L26.

Back in the days of Lotus you could start a formula with + and some people still do that to this day, since that is what they were use to.
