<h1>ADDRESS Function</h1>
<p>The <b>ADDRESS</b> function is one of the lookup and reference functions. It is used to return a text representation of a cell address.</p>
<p>The <b>ADDRESS</b> function syntax is:</p>
<p style="text-indent: 150px;"><b><em>ADDRESS(row-number, col-number[ , [ref-type] [, [A1-ref-type-flag] [, sheet name]]])</em></b></p>
<p><em>where</em></p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><em><b>row-number</b></em> is a row number to use in a cell address.</p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><em><b>col-number</b></em> is a column number to use in a cell address.</p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><em><b>ref-type</b></em> is a type of reference. It can be one of the following numeric values:</p>
<table style="width: 40%">
<tr>
<td><b>Numeric value</b></td>
<td><b>Meaning</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1 or omitted</td>
<td>Absolute referencing</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>2</td>
<td>Absolute row; relative column</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>3</td>
<td>Relative row; absolute column</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>4</td>
<td>Relative referencing</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p><em><b>A1-ref-type-flag</b></em> is an optional logical value: TRUE or FALSE. If it is set to TRUE or omitted, the function will return an A1-style reference. If it is set to FALSE, the function will return an R1C1-style reference.</p>
<p><em><b>sheet name</b></em> is the name of the sheet to use in a cell address. It's an optional value. If it is omitted, the function will return the cell address without the sheet name indicated.</p>
<p>These arguments can be entered manually or included into the cells you make reference to.</p>
