For example, if i have the value 5 in B1 and i want to use that value to reference a cell in column C, ie the formula for A1 is something like:

=C(B1)

obviously that doesn't work, but i hope you get the just of it.
Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Probably missing something here, but the red highlighted cells do not seem to be referenced by the formula?



?

Sorry. Those were irrelevant by this portion of the formula. The whole thing is much longer, but those cells stay stationary, so they are not relevant to this question.

Try to describe in words what you are trying to achieve - for me it's not clear. I won't be back until the morning, but if you can give a good description of your objective I'm sure you will get the help you need.
