Can I reference a cell based on value in other cell?
Hi there, So for instance I have data in A1:A:10 I type a number in cell B1, say 3 Now I want cell C1 to contain A3+5 but when I chance B1 to 4, C1 should change to A4+5 in other words the fomulea in C1 has a reference that depends on another cell (a pointer if you wish). Thanks heaps!

Hi
Try something like this in C1: =INDIRECT("A"&B1)+5 Andy. "bvandijk" wrote in message ...

It works great but I have another problem now: when the target cell is empty, the formuleau returns '0' instead of an empty cell. Any hints on that? Thanks!

Here you go:
=IF(INDIRECT("A"&B1)=0,"",INDIRECT("A"&B1)) Andy. "bvandijk" wrote in message ...
