Your formula would be more like: =INDIRECT("C"&A1)
So, if you have a 4 in cell A1, this will return the contents of C4.

Hi
Try using in INDIRECT function.
e.g..
A1=225
B1=A
C1=1

to extract the value in A1 using both B1 and C1 has your reference
then:
=INDIRECT(B1&C1)

or if you already know your column reference, "in this case A" then:
=INDIRECT("A"&C1)
