In cell J5, I have:

=INDIRECT("C"&C5)...

so, it returns the value of cell C529 (in this case, I have a 529 in cell
C5), which is 82.53.

NOW, IN CELL, J10, I HAVE:

=J5........and I get a "0" returned (???)

How can I get cell J5 to read, also, 82.53???? via the J5 route?

Thanks,

Hi

It works fine for me.
what are the ... after your formula, are you saying that there is something
else within the formula in J5?

There was something wrong...I closed the spreadsheet and reopened it without
incident. Thanks,

A puzzler!!

What do you get if you address C529 directly? Is that all you have in J10 or
is it part of a larger formula?

There was something wrong -- I cloded the spreadsheet and reopened it
without incident. All is okay now; to be honest, at some time, inbetween, I
was working with a "circular reference". I believe that had something to do
with the dilemma.
