Cell variable in formula
Can I use a cell value as a variable in a formula to bring in a cell content
Cell value Cell Content Desired output A1=5 B5=house C1=house A2=10 B10=car C2=car A3=15 B15=truck C3=truck A4=20 B20=9 C4=9 I tried as a formula in cell C1 =A(b5) but it didn't work, is there some formula that I can use if I have 500 rows of data without typing in the actual formula in cell C1 |
