=INDIRECT("A"&N1+3)

Volatile & non-volatile functions are discussed at

Excel 2007 but much applies equally to earlier versions.

What formula can I use to express the value of cell A(n+3) where n is a
variable. For example, if n = 4 then the cell I'm looking for is "A7".
Also,
in these discussions what exactly does a "volatile" solution mean vs a
"nonvolatile" solution?
