Finding Column & Row names using Cell Address

G

Guest

I am using the track changes function to identify any changes to a
spreadsheet and then requesting they list separately on a new sheet as
history. Now that I have the list of cell addresses for these changes I need
to find the column & row names of that value so that it can be loaded into a
database.

For example below cell C3 was change from 55 to 60. That change was
reflected on the history page. I need to find a way to pull the row name of
Oranges and column name of Feb.

I'm stuck. Please help.

A B C D
1 Fruit Jan Feb March
2 Apples 55 25 35
3 Oranges 40 60 33
4 Pears 30 25 20
5 Grapes 12 20 19


History spreadsheet
Who Change Range "New" "Old"
user Cell Change C3 60 55

New spreadsheet

Who Change Range "New" "Old" Fruit Month

Hi
one way:
row name:
=OFFSET('sheet1'!$A$1,CELL("row",INDIRECT(C2))-1,0)
where C2 stores the range name (e.g. 'C3')

column name:
=OFFSET('sheet1'!$A$1,0,CELL("column",INDIRECT(C2))-1)
