Default Obscure Function

Stabbing around somewhat blindly...

INDIRECT() - uses the value in the referenced cell as an address.
ROW() returns the row of the referenced cell
COLUMN() returns the column of the referenced cell
where "referenced cell" is the cell address within the () of those functions.
