hello,

perhaps somebody knows how to do this:

in column A i have different values, for example:

A B
1 aa
2 bb
3 cc

in column B i want to define cells as reference to some named cells located
elsewhere. for example: cell B1: =aatotal and so on in other cells:
bbtotal, cctotal...
how can i define formulas in B column based on values in A in order not to
retype aa bb cc in all the cells. something like B1: =A1total ... ?

thanks,

Alex.

You can used =INDIRECT(A1&"total"), where "A1" is the reference to the
cell with the "aa" in it and "total" is the back half of the name of
the named reference cell.
