INDIRECT
Returns the reference specified by a text string. This function can also
be used to return the area of a corresponding string.


Syntax
INDIRECT(ref)

ref represents a reference to a cell or an area (in text form) for which
to return the contents.

Note Icon



If you open an Excel spreadsheet
that uses indirect addresses
calculated from string functions,
the sheet addresses will not be
translated automatically. For
example, the Excel address in
INDIRECT("filename!sheetname"&B1) is
not converted into the Calc address
in INDIRECT
("filename.sheetname"&B1).
