cell value

Copper Contributor

Current have a spread sheet with two tabs, the first is CSV Quoting which i enter all my data (each line is a job), and then i have a template tab to which i i have standard forms - and i need to change 4 cells to reflect the line number i am working on.

So, i would like to be able to make the 93 a number i could change in a cell on the template tab.

='CSV Quoting'!I93

Currently, i need to do a find and replace  to change the value in this example 93 to another number - which reflects a new line in the CSV quoting tab.

 

I have tried to create this cell (E5) on this page to enter the number, and when i try i get a formula error (example of the ='CSV Quoting'!&E5 or if i remove the & the value comes back as zero).

 

Can anyone help?

@Dominic35 You need to use INDIRECT.

Try this:

=INDIRECT("'CSV Quoting'!"&E5)

where E5 need to contain a text like I93.

thank you... worked..
