    changing text to cell reference

    hey guys,
    I am having problems trying to figure out how to create conditional cell references.

    I would like to write a statement that automatically runs a condition in calling a cell. For example, I would like a cell to reference "A(4+B3)" so that it references A4 if B3=0, A5 if B3=1, etc...

    Is there a way that this can be done?

    Try:

    =INDIRECT("A"&4+B3)
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
