    Excel Cells

    Okay. Here goes nothing....
    I've got this spreadsheet. It has two pages. I have a formula that outputs the text, Sheet1!B12. I want, instead of it outputting that text, for it to refer to that cell. Is this possible? Please help. I'd prefer if I could get it all into one cell. In other words, I wish I could wrap this around the formula that makes my "Sheet1!B12".Thanks in advance!

    Hi Shadow,

    Without see how you get the result "Sheet1!B12" it might be just a guess, but try wrapping the INDIRECT function around that function, e.g.

    If the current function in that cell is ="Sheet1!B"&COUNTIF(A1:A10,"Test")

    Change it to: =INDIRECT("Sheet1!B"&COUNTIF(A1:A10,"Test"))

    I am not sure I follow? Try looking at the Indirect function in excel help... Is that what you are referring to?
