Is there a way to get what cell the text is in?
So say for instance if i put this into one cell =Sheet1! I want after =Sheet1! to be whatever cell that function is in...so say for instance i put this in cell C5 It would determine that the function is in cell C5 and it will then make it =Sheet1!C5 and so on for =Sheet1!C6 in cell C6. But i'm looking for a way i can do it like this =Sheet1!(TheCellThisTextIsIn) So it basically mimics another sheet but this way i can put the same function in all of the cells. Thanks guys! |

This will return address of whatever cell you put it in. You could combine it
with the rest of your formula to make: =INDIRECT("'Sheet1'!&"ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN(),4)) Of course, if you simply put =Sheet1!A1 into a cell, and copy it to another cell, the reference will change using the same shift in row/column. -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "tripflex" wrote: Is there a way to get what cell the text is in?

What about if i want to specify what Column it is in? Like say i want it to
get information out of B instead of C...can i specify that? Thanks! "Luke M" wrote: This will return address of whatever cell you put it in.
