    Indirect cell reference

    I what to make a cell that contains another cell ID. I want to then use it indirectly in formulas.

    For example, I want to enter $A$21 into cell B2. Then in cell C50 I want to enter =(indirect)$B$2 and have that be the same as if I had entered $A$21 in C50.

    Is there a way?

    You nearly had it:

    =INDIRECT($B$2)

    Hope this helps.
