Using cell value in forumla

[steev_jd]

Hi,

I need to enter the value of another cell, as a cell reference, int
another formula.

I have got the current formula
=CONCATENATE("D",(MATCH($B4,$D$1:$D$7985,0)))

Which outputs a cell reference in column j, i.e. 'D10' in cell J5

I then need another forumla which compares two cells, i.e.
=MATCH(B7,D10)
(The D10 value coming from the result of the formula above),

however I dont know how to do this, I can only get the formula to say
=MATCH(B7,J5)

Anybody know how to do this?

Cheers,
Stev

Try match(B7,indirect(J5))

Do you mean

=MATCH(B7,"D"&MATCH($B4,$D$1:$D$7985,0))

Hi,

The 'Indirect' method works perfectly.

Thanks for your help.
