Hi I have a formula which needs to work out which cell it is located in, then 
calculate the reference or another cell 1 column to the right and 4 rows 
above to use as reference in the formula itself. Is this possible? I can 
workout the second part using the CELL function with "row" but the first bit 
keeps eluding me.

Can anybody help?

Check out help on =OFFSET()

The reference is automatic.  For your example, say we want to formula to add 
7 to the reference cell and the formula is in A10:

=B6+7

The refers to one cell to the right and four rows up.

If the formula is copied, the relative reference will adjust.
