This should be a simple problem

I've used the MATCH function to find the row in the column that matched what I'm looking for.  I now want to see the value in a different column in that row.  I can't find a way to build a cell refer...

    so CONCAT will create a TEXT value of A11 and that is different than a cell reference.

    As noted by Detlef you can use =INDEX(A1:A100, MATCH( .... ) )

    You can (and should consider) use XLOOKUP( ).  This is a newer function (need 2019 or 365 to use) and is more versatile and more efficient.  =XLOOKUP( value, lookup_array, A1:Axxx, "not found")  I put Axxx in the range because the return_array and lookup_array must be the same length.
