Use spinner to set a cell reference in a formula

Is it possible to use the spinner to set the numeric portion of a cell
reference, eg the 21 in the cell range "A21"?

The resulting cell range, "A21", is to be used in another formula...like this:
Cell "B10" = "A21"

The tricky part has been getting the "A21" to function as a formula (=A21)
and not just as literal text "=A21").

I hope this question makes sense.

Thanks,

In B10 you could use:

=INDIRECT("A"&A5)

A5 would be the cell that the spinner is linked to
 
You can assign a linked cell to that spinner--say your linked cell is x99.

Then you can use that linked cell in the formula:
=indirect("A"&x99)
 
Thank you both, Cutter and Dave Peterson for those nice, elegant answers.

You're welcome. And please note that you are the first to use "Cutter"
and "elegant" in the same sentence.
