I have the following postcode in Cell C2 IV243DLR of excel
In cell C3 I have the following formula
=cleancode(OFFSET(IV243DLR!$C$1,10,ROW()-3))
I have clicked on the tab called IV243DLR for this offset to work.
However what i wish to do is create the same formula using the postcode in Cell C2, since i have different postcodes in D2, E2 etc. Therefore my aim is to create the sheetname using the contents of the cell rather than clicking on each tab. I dont know the syntax on how to create a sheetname using cells. Can someone assist?

So i'm working on a spreadsheet where i need to lookup a value from a tab of which the name is defined in a cell, in this case D7. Using this method i can dynamically search my workbook tabs and select the correct tab and cell reference.
The problem i'm having is that the cell i'm retrieving will not change when i drag down the formula.
=INDIRECT("'"&$D7&"'!S2")
D7 = dynamic tab name
S2 = cell to retrieve... here is where I'm having the problem, this is a value i want to change when i drag down.
Please can someone help here?
You can use the row of the cell with the formula to calculate the row of the referenced cell:
=INDIRECT("'"&$D1&"'!A" & ROW())
note: the above assumes the formula is in the same row as the cell you are referencing (row 2 in your example)
If lets say I define cell "B6" name as value_date
How can i get cell address "B6" from a excel formula ?
If by "define cell B6 as value_date" you mean that you create a named range that refers to B6 and has the range name "value_date", then you can use this formula to return the address of the named range:
=CELL("address",value_date)
Be aware that if the named range contains more than one cell, this formula will return the address of the top left cell of the range.
In the screenshot below, cell C6 has the formula as per above.
Edit after comment:
If the range name is stored as text in a cell, you can use the Indirect() function to evaluate the cell text as a range.
=CELL("address",INDIRECT(A1))
To get the row of value_date via the text in cell A1, use =row(indirect(A1))
This should work:
=ADDRESS(ROW(value_date),COLUMN(value_date))
I have a value in cell D8 of Sheet2.
Cell A4 from Sheet1 has a formula that contains the value of cell D8 from Sheet2.
Now, when I delete the entire Sheet2, I get a referencing error in the formula from cell A4 in Sheet1, which is fine.
But when I insert a new sheet with the same sheet name Sheet2 with another new value in cell D8, my formula in cell A4 of Sheet1 still displays a referencing error.
How do I solve this?
For formulas within the same sheet, I can use offset function but I'm stuck when it comes to deleting and re-inserting sheets.
Thanks!
Use indirect function in cell A4 of Sheet1 to hard code the address, like this
=INDIRECT("Sheet2!D8")
Either
Just copy and paste the contents of the new Sheet2 directly over the existing sheet.
or
Rename Sheet2 to a new name, for example fred
Insert your new Sheet2
Press Ctrl & F together..... Replace ....find what: fred, replace with: Sheet2
I have a simple example here with an Excel file
Worksheet1 has some content like below
A1 = 2
A2 = 3
A3 = "=A1+A2"
Now, i want to copy the formula of A3 from Worksheet1 to Worksheet2.
When i do this, i should get the reference cell content (A1, A2) also to be copied automatically to Worksheet2 (some way to detect the reference content automatically)
Here, i don't want reference or linked cells, coz i might be doing it between different Workbooks
Select Worksheet1, now press Ctrl and select Worksheet2 as well. go to A3, edit the formula and press enter. Now the formula sits in A3 on Worksheet2 as well. You can even select more sheets (up to ALL sheets) and do this across the sheets selected.
My scenario is , I have one Excel sheet. On the same sheet in cell A2 I am inserting the data through code and cell B2 I already put the data manually before inserting the data in cell A2, in cell C2 I written the formula =EXACT(A2,B2).
Now when I run the code, the code put the value in cell A2,and the Status should be change according to the condition given and the data on both cells. But it doesn't change the status according to the formula in cell C2 and the status gets changed when I double click on that particular cell and enter then the condition work. Please tell me how it will be possible without double click on the particular cell?
This works (I've tested it) if automatic calculation is switched on (Excel Options->Formulas->Calculation Options).
Here's the code (I'm using A1, B1, C1):
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Cells(1, 1).Value = 2
End Sub
