Fabricating Cell Address
 

Hello everyone.

I need your help.
I am programmatically determine the coordinates of needed cell.
For example, I am interested in "=R18C3"
But R18 was found using "=MATCH(""ITEM_ID"",C[-1],0) + 3" THIS EQUALS
to 18. So, I know that my desired cell located in row 18.

Is there a way in Excel 97, to concatenate or join this two together.
I tried “=R[(MATCH(""ITEM_ID"",C[-1],0) + 3)C[1]”. But it does not
work.
I also tried =R&[ MATCH(""ITEM_ID"",C[-1],0) + 3}&C[1]…

Is there a way to fabricate the cell address?

Thank you in advance,

Sonya

Sonja,

I don't think you can directly access via R1C1 the way you are trying,
but you can use the 'offset' as you calculated to adjust the Offset
access, thus
=Offset(A1,18-1,0,1,1) would give cell A18 as would
=Offset(A1,(MATCH(""ITEM_ID"",C[-1],0)+3)-1,0,1,1)

For your stated purpose the Offset is, A1 = reference point, row
increment, column increment, 1,1

Hope this helps.

No tested, but try

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=R" & Application.Match("ITEM_ID", _
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).EntireColumn, 0) + 3 & "C3"
