Not sure that is the best subject, but this one is a bit odd.
In Cell A1, I have a string that is another cell, for example A1 has "C5" in it. I want to be able to reference the value that exists in "C5", but from A1. So it might look something like the following?
Sheet1.Range("string that is in A1")
Use =INDIRECT(A1)Not sure what you mean by 'but from A1'
This is a worksheet approach. VBA would be slightly differentI want to be able to reference the value that exists in "C5", but from A1.

Great, thanks! I had never heard of "INDIRECT" before. After a search, I found this bit of code will do the trick. I figured there was a native way to do this.
Sheet1.Range(Sheet2.Range("A1").Value)
