Excel

In an xlsx file, I construct a simple formula by concatenating a text string, e.g. =b28; how to I execute it (evaluate it) as a formula? I tried F2 Enter with no result. Thanks

Make sure that the cell with the formula is not formatted as Text.

Hello @Jacques_Lewalle
Look into the INDIRECT() function, and ADDRESS() function.

Hope this helps
