Try this:

=INDEX(A:A,C2)

If C2 is empty it will return the value from A1.

With a value in cell C2 of 1. Can't I use a formula in cell D1 that says
let D1 equal the contents of cell A(c2). So D1 will equal the value of
cell
A1? Or if c2 equaled a value of 4 then D1 would be equal to the value of
cell A4?
