How do you insert a function in a cell in Excel?

Answer 1

The CELL function is used to get information about a cell. This can be things like its address, format, filename etc. While some of those things can be obvious, there are times when it is useful to get them. If you are looking for the address of a cell that has been given a name for example, as in the following example. The characteristic that you are looking for must be enclosed in brackets, and they are given to you to choose from as you enter the function. The following example gets the address of a cell that has been given the name TotalSales.

=CELL("address", TotalSales)

If you are referring to in terms of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), then here is how you reference a cell:

---------------------------------------------------

Dim thisCell As Excel.Range

Set thisCell = Excel.ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(2, 3)

MsgBox thisCell.Value

MsgBox thisCell.Text

Set thisCell = Excel.ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("C2")

MsgBox thisCell.Value

MsgBox thisCell.Text

Set thisCell = Nothing

---------------------------------------------------

Notice I showed 2 ways to call up a cell and 2 ways to access the contents in the cell.

It's important to know that the VALUE and TEXT of a cell are not always the same.
