how do I convert text string into a cell reference
I have a spreadsheet with multiple pages (a summary sheet, plus multiple single sheets with common format data for different products). In the summary sheet, I want to keep the cell reference the same, but change the page reference according to the column that the data is in. That way I can change a cell at the top of the column to pull up the right data. I can create the cell reference OK in text form using Concatenate , but cannot see how to convert the resultant text string to get back to the real data. Any ideas ??

You can use the Indirect function to return a reference. For example, if
cell C1 contains a sheet name, the following formula will return the
value in cell D5 on that sheet:
=INDIRECT("'"&C1&"'!D5")

dsd1Many Thanks Debra, this works well. I had tried INDIRECT but obviously could
not quite get the syntax right. Thanks for your help,

Is there a way to trap the event when the user starts to dray that cell, even if the mouse starting drag position was not over the item's text? Thank you. Yes but it involves you doing the drag and drop process yourself. With that said there are two ways you can do that. One is to use OLE (CDataSource, and CDropTarget) which comes in handy if you wa...

Convert
I am trying to get the 'CONVERT' function on MS Excell 2000 to work. I wish to convert metres to miles. I enabled the Analysis ToolPak by going to TOOLS/ADD INS and put a tick in the Analysis ToolPak box. in a cell I typed CONVERT(100, "m", 'mi") but it didn't work.

Text To Dates
I have trouble with Excel converting text to dates. For example: I set the row to text and enter Jan 02, Feb 02 ... Dec 02; I copy the entries Jan 02 through Dec 02 and paste them in the same row (Which I previously set to text); I replace the 02 with 03 expecting to have Jan 03, Feb 03 ... Dec 03; However, Excel, in its infinite wisdom, converts my new items to 3 Jan 04, 3 Feb 04 ... 3 Dec 04. How can I get Excel to accept my change and keep the fields as Jan 03 etc. An easy fix is to use the month fill, but I have had similar problems in the past and wondered if what I can do to fix...
What program can i use to convert extentions jpg to csv. ensofort.
How can i convert extentions like jpg and gif to a different extention like csv. Can you do this in Excel? You have a picture of text and you want to import it into excel? If yes, you need an OCR program (Optical Character Recognition). A lot of scanners come with software, or you can purchase it separately. There may even be free/shareware versions that you can download. http://www.shareware.com might be your next stop.

Thanks. var sid = obj.id; var unloc = sid.indexOf('_', 0); var vrowid = sid.substr(0, unloc);...
Cell drag versus item drag in clistctrl
Hi there, I trap LVN_BEGINDRAG to get the event when the user tries to drag an item from my listctrl. However, this only traps if the user actually clicks on the item text and starts to drag it, not if he/she simply start to drag a cell. Is there a way to trap the event when the user starts to dray that cell, even if the mouse starting drag position was not over the item's text? Thank you. Yes but it involves you doing the drag and drop process yourself. With that said there are two ways you can do that. One is to use OLE (CDataSource, and CDropTarget) which comes in handy if you wa...
