cell reference of a formula
I am trying to get Excel to "know" which cell a formula is in and then count
a certain number of rows and columns to find where the data that needs to be used in the calculation is. For example if I have data that needs to be used in the calculation in C2:C6 and the formula is in B7, I need Excel to count one column to the right and 4 rows above from B7 to find the data and work out the result of the formula. I can do the part about counting the rows and columns, but I can't find how to get Excel to work out the cell reference for the formula cell. Is this possible and how? |

cell reference of a formula
For example, if the formula in B7 is to take the cell one column to the right
and four rows up and multiply it by 11, then: =C3*11 Will do it -- Gary''s Student - gsnu201001 "Marzia" wrote: I am trying to get Excel to "know" which cell a formula is in and then count a certain number of rows and columns to find where the data that needs to be used in the calculation is.
