Here is my situation:
-A user enters one of any number in an input cell. Say for example he enters 10. -I need to look at cell B12 in this case (actually will always be "B" & input_number +2, so if they enter 5, I need to look at B7). -Now I need to look at the contents of this cell B12, which contains the word "Jim" for example. I then need to compare cell B12 (or whatever cell, as this will vary), to the next cell down, B13, see if B12=B13. There may be an easy way to do this, but I can't get it to work. I tried creating a variable, that took input_number and converted it to "B" & input number +2. So now I have a varaible that = B12 (will vary based on their input number). Then tried do =CELL("contents", variable) to pull out the value of "Jim". Didn't work. I can't enter in B12 here, because that will vary. Thought the dynamic variable would accomplish that, but doesn't seem to work. Any help appreciated. Thanks |
