Hi,
not sure what you mean you can reference A1 in C1 just entering in c1 =A1 let's say B2 has a name Peter with A1 having the formula =B2 will show Peter if you enter in cell C1 the formula given it will show Peter as well "JCC" wrote: Cell A1 content is "=B2".

Cell A1 content is "=B2".
--If you mean =B2 as text try the below formula =INDIRECT(MID(A1,2,LEN(A1))) --If you mean formula =B2 =A1 If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "JCC" wrote: Cell A1 content is "=B2". I want to reference A1 and get the contents of B2. |

Your answer is correct, but I didn't ask the right question. I simplified my
question too much. If I have a formula as text in A1 (i.e. "=AL60") how do I see the result of that formula by referencing A1?

You can reference a cell using INDIRECT but not the greater than sign..
A1 = '=A6' =INDIRECT(MID(A1,2,LEN(A1))) 0 If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "JCC" wrote: Your answer is correct, but I didn't ask the right question.

Maybe something like this could work (as long as the result is true/false):
A1 = "AL6" B1 = "" C1 = "0" (all without the quotes) =COUNTIF(INDIRECT(A1),B1&C1) JCC wrote: Your answer is correct, but I didn't ask the right question. I simplified my question too much.

If you're new to macros:
Debra Dalgleish has some notes how to implement macros he http://www.contextures.com/xlvba01.html David McRitchie has an intro to macros: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm Ron de Bruin's intro to macros: http://www.rondebruin.nl/code.htm (General, Regular and Standard modules all describe the same thing.)
