Not sure what you're asking, but the INDIRECT function somes to the rescue:
something like =INDIRECT(LEFT(SuppName,2)&MID(SuppName,4,4)&"BD") would make
40CHANDB be a reference, but to what is this referring?? If it's a workbook,
then you'd need the [ and ] characters, the sheet name, the exclamation mark
& a cell reference, etc, but that could also be part of the INDIRECT. Perhaps
Microsoft Help can explain further.
