Getting what cell the text is in
 

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.

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!
