    Reference a cell in another cell (non-standard way)

    Hi,

    I'd like to know if / how the following is possible:

    I have say a figure, 45, in cell A1.

    In cell B1 I have written simply A1 (not =A1, simply A1)

    Now, in cell C1 I want to refer to cell B1, using the value inside B1 (which is A1), to refer to the CELL A1, and return a value of 45.

    Obviously if in cell B1, I write =A1, then there is no problem, but without the "is equal to" sign, can this be done?

    Any ideas?

    Thanks.

    Rabindra

    Perhaps INDIRECT.
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    =INDIRECT(B1)
