    Re: Formula Result as Cell Reference

    Where cell A1 has that first calculation in it, try this in the next cell:
    =INDIRECT("Sheet2!A" & A1)

    Be careful about falling love with the INDIRECT() function. It comes with a lot of overhead. Every cell you use it in will recalculate every time you change any piece of data anywhere on your sheet. Every time. If you insert 1000s of these INDIRECT() functions into one sheet, you will suffer some performance issues.

    It's fine in controlled amounts.
