Using the value of one cell to refer to another cell
 
I would like to use the value of one cell, to be able to refer to a cell
reference.

For instance:

the value of aa3 = 40

I would like to use that value as part of a cell reference:

b((aa3+3)

Naturally, Excel isn't letting me do that - but is there a way?

Thanks.

Try with INDIRECT()

=INDIRECT("B" & AA3+3)

the above will refer cell B43 if AA3 is 40


If this post helps click Yes
