Thumbs up Answer: Does Excel have a "This Cell" reference

Hi L Anderson,

Yes, Excel does have a way to reference the current cell in a formula. You can use the relative reference feature to reference the cell relative to the current cell.

For example, if you want to reference the cell above the current cell, you can use the formula
Formula:
=OFFSET(A1,-1,0
where A1 is the current cell. This formula will return the value in the cell above A1.

You can also use the INDIRECT function to reference the current cell. For example, the formula
Formula:
=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN())) 
will return the value in the current cell.
  1. Use the relative reference feature to reference the cell relative to the current cell.
  2. Use the formula
    Formula:
    =OFFSET(A1,-1,0
    to reference the cell above the current cell.
  3. Use the INDIRECT function to reference the current cell.
  4. Use the formula
    Formula:
    =INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN())) 
    to reference the current cell.
