    Question Change cells based on their Cell Address

    Hello good Excel people!

    I have a, I expect, simple question regarding using absolute cell addresses to change a given cell.

    I have a piece of code as stated underneath, The output is an absolute cell address: [test.xlsm]Sheet1'!R3C3

    I want to list a long array of cell values and their addresses and then change their value. How do I use this absolute cell address as the reference?

    "For this cell address, do something"


    Hope that makes sense, Thank You

    Re: Change cells based on their Cell Address

    'Do something' - what exactly are you trying to do? You can reference a cell directly, depending on the method you intend to use...
    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE

    Walking the tightrope between genius and eejit...

    Re: Change cells based on their Cell Address

    So I have a table with three columns:

    Cell Address | Value option one | Value option two

    This table will be made from the showed Cell_Addresser (when I put it into a loop).

    I want to choose a cell value between the options based on an IF statement. Something like showed below, but using the cell address read from the table instead of the Cells(1,1).Value.

    The Cell references marked with red, instead of using Cell(y,x) I'd like to refer to the cell address I have printed in Sheets(1).Cells(4, 2), in general terms.

    In all ways I can readily imagine, I keep referring to the cell I'm looking at and not the address I have stated in the cell's value.

    I think in general my question is: How can I read and refer the address written in a cell instead of the Range(A1) or the Cells(1,1)?

    Thank you! I'll take a look!

    It seems you can just refer to addresses through the Range(c.Text).Value if I'm not mistaken, as a general thing?

    But thank you for setting into context in tables too!
