I have some values and they are numbered 0-25, from A-Z. I have a cell with a value A-Z, and I want to use this value in an equation for another cell: =COLUMN('Cell Value'1)
. I tried using CELL("contents",A3)
which is the reference to the letter. I want it to be where it automatically changes the column reference when the letter changes. If there is a way to do this that I couldn't find then please help.
You can convert a text string to a part of a cell reference using INDIRECT()
.
In this example INDIRECT(A2&1)
will return value of B1 if A2 contains "B"
, C1 if A2 contain "С"
and so on.
