Dynamic cell reference using INDIRECT..

[Jason.Alden.Benoit]

Hi,

Is there a way to take this formula "=INDIRECT("'"&$P$3&"'!X9")" and
make X9 dynamic upon copying to other cells? For P3 I only need to
remove the $'s.

Thanks!

Try this one..

=INDIRECT("'"&$P$3&"'!"&ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN()))

Hope this helps.

I should have been more specific, I need the cell reference to be
relative to the cell, but it will likely not match. Instead of ROW()
and COLUMN() I entered in the correct number, and that returned the
correct value, however it did not let me copy it dynamically. Thank
you for your help so far.

or if you want it internationalization-safe,

=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(X9),COLUMN(X9),,,$P$3))

=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(X9),COLUMN(X9),,,$P$3))

I am not sure what internationalization safe could mean except if
referring to another language version of excel. This did the trick, I
still have a lot of editing while copy/pasting to do but this will
make it much better! Thanks!
