Hi Helga,
I interpretted your email differently to Linda, so if Linda's excellent
explanation is what you're after, please ignore this email :)
The way I saw it was that you want to reference a cell whose location is
indicated in another cell. Confused? It's hard to explain.
Using your example say:
Sheet1!A1 = 49
Sheet2!C49 = 20
entering the following formula in Sheet1!A2:
=INDIRECT("Sheet2!C"&A1)
This will join the text "Sheet2!C" with the contents of A1 (49) giving you
"Sheet2!C49". The INDIRECT function then turns this into a formula instead
of just text (=Sheet2!C49). The result of A2 will be whatever's in
Sheet2!C49 (20).
Hope this helps.
Dave.

Hi Helga....If you want the formula to refer to C49 on Sheet 2, you have
to use Sheet2!C49
So, if you want to be able to add this to A1 in sheet 1, you CAN'T just
type 49 in cell A1, you would have to put this is A1:
=Sheet2!C49
Then in your formula in cell A2, just reference A1
The easiest way to reference a cell in another sheet is to do it this
way...here's an example
Click in cell A1 and type an equal sign ( = )
Then switch to Sheet 2 and click on cell C49 and hit your Enter key
This will bring you back to Sheet 1 and you will see =Sheet2!C49 has
been entered into cell A1 for you.

What I'd like to do is have a cell into which I type a number. That
number will then be used as a row number in a cell reference.
Apparently, I'm not getting the syntax right.
Say, I type a number 49 into cell A1. Then I'll want the formula in
A2 to use the number in row 49 in column C on Sheet 2. I've tried
things like this, which don't work.
+Sheet2!C(A1)
I apparently haven't found the right word to chase down in the help
files in Excel to solve this riddle.
