Combined formula
 

Hi all,

I have three cells with a value:

Cell Value
A1 Test1
A2 Test2
A3 Test3

I would like to have another cell where I can enter a value (e.g. 2) and
receive in an additional field the value (e.g. Test2).

How can I add to the formula (e.g. =A...) a variable from another field?

Kind regards,

Simon

Combined formula
 

One way
With B1 containing the input number, eg: 2
In C1: =INDEX(A1:A3,MATCH(TRUE,INDEX((RIGHT(A1:A3)=B1&"") ,),0))

Hi Max,

Thank you very much for your solution. However, I have a problem applying
the formula to my example.

I have three cells with a value:
Cell Value
A1 Test1
A2 Test2
A3 Test3

Let's assume I enter in a cell (B1) the value "1". I would like to see the
value "Test1" in cell (B2). If I enter the vaule "2" I would like to see the
value "Test2" in cell (B2).

The formula would be stored in the cell (B2) and would take the variable
from cell (B1).

Your formula seems to work only with numbers, but not with text in the
selected range (e.g. Test1...Test3).

Kind regards,

Simon

try this

put this in B2
="Test"& B1

Hi Raz,

Thank you for your advice, but I would like to select with the number in the
field "B1" a value out of the range A1...A3, by adding the number to the
formula. E.g. I type in "1" and the formula in "B2" would change to "=A1" and
display the value from "A1". If I enter the value "2" into the field "B1" I
would like to see "Test2" in the cell "B2" and the formula would be "=A2". I
only want to be able to change the number in the formula e.g. "1" in "=A1" to
a "2" when I enter a number "2" in a cell.

Kind regards,

Simon

Got it: =INDIRECT("sheet name"&ADDRESS(G1;G2))
