Sorry for not clarifying the question. I am trying to
generalise a function so that I could use it on a
different sheet.

Function MassPurlin(b, d) 'Looking up the mass of
purlin, in relation to b=width, d=depth in Sheet1

Firstly, b & d are two values from different cells (eg., b
from A12, d from B12). Is there some way I could write so
that I could know which cell was b from? (Ie, let say I am
reusing this formula on another sheet, and the reference b
and d is no longer at A12 & B12)

Thankyou

The function VLOOKUP(), HLOOKUP() and Match() are
designed for this.

Please define yuor question a little more clearly.

THis is a snippet of a function:

Function MassPurlin(b, d) 'Looking up the mass of
purlin,
in relation to b=width, d=depth in Sheet1


Is there someway I could find out the position/location
of
the cell where b or d is stored? Ie, if b is stoed in
cell
B2,

a=worksheets("Sheet1").Cell(b)._____ where a would = 4
