Celll Address Lookup
I have a list of cell addresses to be looked-up by their ids in column
A and B: 1,F1 2,M31 3,G6 etc. now, what I want to do is create a lookup formula that will take the integer result from a cell D3 and lookup the value in the cell that corresponds with that integer. I tried: =cell("contents", vlookup(D3, A:B,2,false)) but that doesn't work because the vlookup returns a string. All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jason |

Celll Address Lookup
Use INDIRECT, viz.: =INDIRECT(VLOOKUP(D3,A:B,2,FALSE))

Jason,
you need one of the functions that return ranges, not values: =CELL("contents",INDIRECT("B"&MATCH(D3,A:A,0))) HTH Kostis Vezerides On Feb 9, 3:38 pm, "Jason Lepack" wrote: I have a list of cell addresses to be looked-up by their ids in column A and B: 1,F1 2,M31 3,G6 etc. now, what I want to do is create a lookup formula that will take the integer result from a cell D3 and lookup the value in the cell that corresponds with that integer.
