Getting contents of a cell when cell reference is in the sheet
If I have a cell reference in a cell, how could I get the contents of the
cell instead of the cell reference again. For example, A B C D 1 2 5 3 'A2' 4 How could I see the contents of cell A2 using the information in cell C3. I'm matching one number with another in different worksheets and want to get a value from the same row as the match. I can get it to return the address of the data I want to get, but can't get the data. |

Incorporate INDIRECT()... i.e. =INDIRECT(A2) will return the contents of A2.

Thanks Dave,
For some reason it was just returning the cell reference before.

Just noticed a typo, my previous post should read "=INIDRECT(C3) will return
the contents of A2. -- Regards, Dave "David Billigmeier" wrote: Incorporate INDIRECT()... i.e. =INDIRECT(A2) will return the contents of A2. -- Regards, Dave "A Nelson" wrote: If I have a cell reference in a cell, how could I get the contents of the cell instead of the cell reference again.
