Offset referenced cell
Sheet1 A1 shows: =Sheet2!D40
What Im trying to do is: Offset (Sheet2!D40,-15,0) I want to do this on Sheet 1 off of cell A1: Offset (Cell referenced in cell A1,-15, 0). Is this possible? |

Offset referenced cell
Thanks, Don
I had tried Indirect but it returns #REF. "Don Guillett" wrote: Have a look in the help index for INDIRECT -- Don Guillett SalesAid Software "Caledonia" wrote in message ...

Offset referenced cell
I did -- I get #REF! I tried it with different rows -- not working! If I
put A1 in quotes, it works but it's pulling the data from Sheet!1 A1, not from Sheet!2 D40.

For Indirect() to work you have to a have a text value that looks like a cell
address or a range address. Thus, if cell A1 contains =Sheet2!D40, you are simply referencing that cell. A1 *should* read: Sheet2!D40 Now you can use =Offset(Indirect(A1),-15,1) "Caledonia" wrote: I did -- I get #REF! I tried it with different rows -- not working!
