Default GET.CELL

Hi Folks!

Anyone know where I can find info on the argument values
for GET.CELL?

I saw a post a couple of wks ago that had a link for a
help file from MS but I'm not really wanting to install
that.

I'm just looking for a "white paper" with the index of
argument values.

Thanks

current workspace reference style.
2 Row number of the top cell in reference.

4 Same as TYPE(reference).
5 Contents of reference.
6 Formula in reference, as text, in either A1 or R1C1 style depending on the
workspace setting.
7 Number format of the cell, as text (for example, "m/d/yy" or "General").
8 Number indicating the cell's horizontal alignment:
1 = General
2 = Left

to 56. If font color is automatic, returns 0.
25 If all the characters in the cell, or only the first character, are
outlined, returns TRUE; otherwise, returns FALSE. Outline font format is not
supported by Microsoft Excel for Windows.

otherwise, returns FALSE.
31 If the column containing the active cell is a summary column, returns
TRUE; otherwise, returns FALSE.
32 Name of the workbook and sheet containing the cell If the window contains
only a single sheet that has the same name as the workbook without its
extension, returns only the name of the book, in the form BOOK1.XLS.

41 Returns the formula in the active cell without translating it (useful for
international macro sheets).
42 The horizontal distance, measured in points, from the left edge of the
active window to the left edge of the cell. May be a negative number if the
window is scrolled beyond the cell.
43 The vertical distance, measured in points, from the top edge of the
active window to the top edge of the cell. May be a negative number if the

65 Returns TRUE if the Add Indent alignment option is on (Far East versions
of Microsoft Excel only); otherwise, it returns FALSE.
66 Returns the book name of the workbook containing the cell in the form
BOOK1.XLS.

Reference is a cell or a range of cells from which you want information.

If reference is a range of cells, the cell in the upper-left corner of the
first range in reference is used.
If reference is omitted, the active cell is assumed.

Tip Use GET.CELL(17) to determine the height of a cell and GET.CELL(44) -
GET.CELL(42) to determine the width.

Examples

The following macro formula returns TRUE if cell B4 on sheet Sheet1 is bold:

GET.CELL(20, Sheet1!$B$4)


You can use the information returned by GET.CELL to initiate an action. The
following macro formula runs a custom function named BoldCell if the
GET.CELL formula returns FALSE:

IF(GET.CELL(20, Sheet1!$B$4), , BoldCell())


Related Functions

ABSREF Returns the absolute reference of a range of cells to another range
ACTIVE.CELL Returns the reference of the active cell
GET.FORMULA Returns the contents of a cell
GET.NAME Returns the definition of a name
GET.NOTE Returns characters from a note
RELREF Returns a relative reference
