    how to get cell value from text cell reference

    Continuing from what I asked earlier, now I cannot get cell value after I got the cell reference. See file.

    Adding a "=" to a text cell reference (eg B2) with concatenate does not give me the B2 cell value.

    How can I fix this?

    Thanks.

    Noted and many thanks.

    Never seem this function before. Wish the function name can be more relevant and descriptive. Ha.

    Well, to me it sounds convincing (at least a bit - may be because I know it :-D ) , as we do not write directly the address to formula, but the address has to be first generated and then indirectly used in a cell formula.

    It is often used in pair with the ADDRESS function.


    And thanks for reputation point and for marking thread "Solved"
