Using another cell in a formula
I would like to write a simple formula using a reference to something in
another cell. I think it should be easy, but I guess that's only if you know how. In cell a1 I have the letters cj which is the name of one of my worksheets. I want to use a formula in cell b1 that says cj!d4. Instead of writing in the letters cj into the formula I would like to "reference" them from cell a1. I tried using +&a1&"!d4 but I just get cj!d4 instead of whats in cj!d4. Hope this makes sense and hope you can help. Thanks in advance. |
