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 analyse <b><em>ref-text</em></b> as an A1-style reference. If it is set to FALSE, the function will interpret <b><em>ref-text</em></b> as 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> <p>To apply the <b>ADDRESS</b> function,</p> <ol> <li>select the cell where you wish to display the result,</li> <li>click the <b>Insert Function</b> <img alt="Insert Function icon" src="../images/insertfunction.png" /> icon situated at the top toolbar, <br />or right-click within a selected cell and select the <b>Insert Function</b> option from the menu, <br />or click the <img alt="Function icon" src="../images/function.png" /> icon situated at the formula bar, </li> <li>select the <b>Lookup and Reference</b> function group from the list,</li> <li>click the <b>ADDRESS</b> function,</li> <li>enter the required arguments separating them by comma,</li> <li>press the <b>Enter</b> button.</li> </ol> <p>The result will be displayed in the selected cell.</p> <p style="text-indent: 150px;"><img alt="ADDRESS Function" src="../images/address.png" /></p> </div> </body> </html>
