macro to go to cell based upon a calculation

I am trying to create a button with a embedded macro that will take me to a
cell containing a value, which is calculated somewhere else in the
spreadsheet. I assume this is easy, but I am not VBA skilled.
 
thanks Jim. I think I still need some assistance in that the cell in not
fixed, I must first locate the cell based upon the calculation. For
instance, if the calculate value is 2109, I must find the cell (in a known
column) that contains that value than go to it using a button and imbedded
macro. In the spreadsheet, I can find the cell, but I am not sure how to
applie it in the macro.
 
If 2109 is in A1, and you want to select a cell in that row type
indirect("a"&A1) in the name box (next to the formula bar). Choose
Tools-Macro-Record New Macro first to get the code for this.
 
The limited info in your post suggests that you know what the value is. If
so, Edit>Find should be all you need. Otherwise post back with a much better
description of what your need is.
 
thanks to all for their responses. My inability to adequately describe the
need hampered the dialogue, but Lori's solution was right on!

thanks

I have the same problem, your answer is getting me very close but I'm still
just a bit off.
I have a table: (5 colums / 13 rows) the first row names the columns accross
"1" ,"2", "3" and so on.

on the same sheet there is a cell (not in the 13/5 table) where I input a
number (input cell) between 1 and 5. I need a macro to read the value in that
"input cell" and then go to the column (1,2,3,4,5) based on the number in the
input cell.

HELP!!!
 
Robert,

If your table is in, say, B11:F23, and if your "Input cell" is cell G5, and
you want to select the cell in row 2 of that table, then use something like:

Sub Robert()
Dim RowNumber As Long
RowNumber = 2 'Change this to the row that you want to select
Range("B11:F23").Cells(RowNumber, Range("G5").Value).Select
End Sub
