    Can you use cell values in equations? (insert - equation)

    I would like values in inserted equations to depend on cell values, so when the cells change, the equations change too. The attached file is an example.

    I have uploaded a file with clearer explanation. Basically I want displayed equations to change some values as if they had formulas in them with cell references.

    What you have there is am image/picture, it is not in any cells, nor is it linked/related to any cells, and as such, will not change based on any changes made to cells.

    You could maybe do this by designing something that sits In cells, across multiple columns and rows (or in a merged cell)
