Text formating in formula
Hi,
I have the following problem: In cell A1 I have a value of BP/SA, in cell B1 I want the sum of a named range based on the value in cell A1 ie, "bp_sa", my Formula is thus "=sum(bp_sa)". I need to do a formula that will link the value from A1 and come up with this, =sum(substitute(A1,"/","_"), The result is =sum("BP_SA") INSTEAD OF =SUM(BP_SA). How do i get rid of the quotes around the returned value of bp_sa. Thx |
