Calculate the position of a formula and number of cells from it
Hi I have a formula which needs to work out which cell it is located in, then
calculate the reference or another cell 1 column to the right and 4 rows above to use as reference in the formula itself. Is this possible? I can workout the second part using the CELL function with "row" but the first bit keeps eluding me. Can anybody help? |

The reference is automatic. For your example, say we want to formula to add
7 to the reference cell and the formula is in A10: =B6+7 The refers to one cell to the right and four rows up. If the formula is copied, the relative reference will adjust. -- Gary''s Student - gsnu201001 "Marzia" wrote: Hi I have a formula which needs to work out which cell it is located in, then calculate the reference or another cell 1 column to the right and 4 rows above to use as reference in the formula itself.
