Offset to a referenced cell
Cell B2 Sheet2 in my workbook returns the value from cell A1 Sheet1. I want
cell B3 Sheet2 to return the value from a cell offset to cell A1 Sheet1, (e.g. 2 columns right). However, I want to be able to change the cell in Sheet1 that cell B2 Sheet2 references (e.g. to cell A2 Sheet1). I still want cell B3 Sheet2 to return a value offset 2 columns right, but this time to cell A2 Sheet1. Help. Thanks |
Offset to a referenced cell
Hi,
One possibility is to specify the address e.g. using an initial apostrophe to format the cell as text: In B1 Sheet 2: 'Sheet1!A1 In B2 Sheet 2: =INDIRECT(B1) In B3 Sheet 2: =OFFSET(INDIRECT(B1),0,2) Whenever the address in B1 Sheet 2 is changed e.g. to 'Sheet1!A2, cells B2 and B3 refer to the new addresses.
