    Function to Identify Active Cell

    Evening All,

    I have a spreadsheet where if i had a formula/function, that would identify the
    Active Cell (selected cell) in the Sheet to use the content of the cell in a lookup formula.

    Sorry, forgot to mention, NO MACROS, work network does not support them

    Regards

    BAj

    I think this can only be done with macros.

    I rarely return to a problem once I've answered it so make sure you clearly define what the trouble is.

    The closest you can get, I think, would be
    =CELL("contents")
    which would give you the contents of the active cell the last time a calculation occurred.
    Good luck.

    =CELL("address")
    ...will give the address of the activecell at the time the last sheetcalc occurred.
