I need help with a formula to update a cell using the row and column number contained in separate cells.
The VBA would look like this...

Code:
Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
mrow = Range("q1").Value    ' the cell which contains the row number for the data

mcol = Range("p1").Value      'the cell which contains the column number for the data

Range("a1") = Cells(mrow, mcol).Value ' the destination
 
End Sub

I just can't seem to do this in a formula

Thanks
Jim
 

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Thanks that did it along with the indirect function.
For years I have been doing those type of things using VBA. But now I am having to redo some apps in OPEN Office.
The VBA code I used as an example would have taken 12 lines to do in open office.
Thanks again
