treat cell contents as reference not value?
Hi,
What the the function I use to tell a formula to use the contents of a cell as reference to another cell rather than a value in itself? Example Cell Contains A1 Dave A2 Andrews A3 Evans A4 A2 My Formula is =A1&A4 I want it to return "DaveAndrews", not "DaveA2" Possibly not the best example, but its simple I need it to treat the contents of A4 as a reference rather than a value. I've done it before but can't remember how |
