Have a look at the INDIRECT and OFFSET functions in Excel Help.
Hope this helps.

I don't think you're going to need the INDIRECT function -- just
OFFSET. You will probably also need the ROWS and COLUMNS function.
Write me if you have trouble and I'll help you write the formula.

It is the custom in these news groups to post solutions here where we all may
benefit.
If you have an idea of what your formulas will be, show us an example please.

Hi,
I have ssen the Offset function at the help and realized that the: rows,
cols, height and width are to define the range so that it is clear that the
begining and ending cell in the range are known. I think that in my sheet:
C25=='June 2006'!E$160*'June 2006'!$D$1+'June 2006'!F$160
will look like: =OFFSET('June 2006'!D159,1,1,1,2)
This didn't work:
1- the #VALUE error appear.
2- the first cell needs to be multiplied with $D$1 value.
I am confused!

Hi,
=SUM(OFFSET('June 2006'!D159,1,1,1,2))
sums the values in the cells E160 and F160.
What changes needs to be done to have the vale of cell E160 be multiplied
with the value in cell $D$1?
This might make it more clear to the previous posting
