CELL ( )
Can someone give me an example when we need to use
=CELL("contents",A1) instead of =A1? Thanks. Epinn |
CELL ( )
Per Excel Help:
"Remark The CELL function is provided for compatibility with other spreadsheet programs." Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "Epinn" wrote: Can someone give me an example when we need to use =CELL("contents",A1) instead of =A1? Thanks. Epinn |
CELL ( )
Yes, I read that. If I am not mistaken, I have seen CELL ( ) with other info_type than "contents" used *not* for compatibility purpose. But I didn't see this happening with "contents." Hence, my first post. Is it fair to say that there is absolutely no use of "contents" except for compatibility with other spreadsheet? Never say "never?" <g

CELL ( )
I can't think of a reason to use it in Excel. Perhaps in the "other"
spreadsheets, that context actually displays the contents/formula of the cell. So....there's a probablilty of zero that I would use it in Excel...but... I would NEVER say never. <vbg *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "Epinn" wrote: Yes, I read that.
