indirect writing in cells

A

aolsson

In cell A1 I have a value (5)
In cell A2 I have the address of another cell (F5)
Is it possible to write the value (5) in the celladdress in A2 (F5)?
Must I use VisualBasic or is it possible to achieve this by using
formula
in the worksheet?
The address in A2 can change so it is possible for me to write
formula i
cell F5. The value to be written in the recieving field may come fro
many
different places so it is not possible to write "recieving" formulas,
must use
a write-to technique.

Hi Anders,

I think you should use VBA, because in Excel there's no possibility to write
a formula that write in different cell from which it is written in... So if
you want to write a value in F5, you have to write in F5 or directly the
value yu want or a formula to display the value, but you cannot write a
formula in A2 to write a value in F5...

Hope I helped you.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

If you put F5 in cell A2, and then use

=INDIRECT(A2)

this will return the value in F5
