To get the row/column of the cell in which you're entering a formula, use
=row() or =column(). Note that the column will come back as a number (1
instead of A, etc).

Sorry, For some reason I thought you meant in VBA.
You already have a correct answer

Thanks, but this is not quite what I want. If I clik the cursor in a random
cell, say G7, then "G7" will appear in the name box in the top left corner.
How do I get hold of "G7" I use the contents of this cell?
