creating a formula that looks at the value of another cell and usesthat value as the row value for for a referenced cell
Seems simple enough, but I have no idea how to do this.
Here's an example: =IF(ROW(A3)AO$1,'Page2'!$A?,""), where the question marks denotes the row number, the value of which, I want to get from another cell altogether. For example,say cell B1 had the value of 1000 and I wanted to use that value as my row number in the above formula so something like =IF(ROW(A3)AO$1,'Page2'!$A(value from B1),"") = =IF(ROW(A3)AO $1,'Page2'!$A1000,"") Thanks, K |

Try:
=IF(ROW(A3)AO$1,INDIRECT("Page2!$A"&B1),"") best wishes -- Bernard Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme "Kerry" wrote in message ...

I think adding INDIRECT to my excel lexicon will be useful in the future too. |
