    Changing the values in text

    Hi I have the formula to obtain a Cell value

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    This will return the value something like: $Q$23

    I want to then change the body of text $Q$23 to the next increment, which would be $R$24

    Can anyone assist with this?

    Many thanks
    Tony G

    You could add +1 immediately after the close bracket of the MATCH function.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Pete,

    Thanks that helps a little as it increments the numerical value but not the text.

    The result is $Q$24

    I made a workaround by using this formula.

    Now I need to use this value $R$24 as a cell location and not as text. i.e.

    Sum(A1:$R$30)
    Where A1 contains the value $R$24

    Re: Changing the values in text

    Thanks for the answer but I worked it out and used this formula.

    =SUM(INDIRECT('Plan Data'!$I$14):R29)
