What is the Cell ADDRESS Function?The cell ADDRESS Function[1] is categorized under Excel Lookup and Reference functions. It will provide a cell reference (its “address”) by taking the row number and column letter. The cell reference will be provided as a string of text. The function can return an address in a relative or absolute format and can be used to construct a cell reference inside a formula. As a financial analyst, cell ADDRESS can be used to convert a column number to a letter, or vice versa. We can use the function to address the first cell or last cell in a range. Formula=ADDRESS(row_num, column_num, [abs_num], [a1], [sheet_text]) The formula uses the following arguments:
4. A1(optional argument) – This is a logical value specifying the A1 or R1C1 reference style. In R1C1 reference style, both columns and rows are labeled numerically. It can either be TRUE (reference should be A1) or FALSE (reference should be R1C1). When omitted, it will take on the default value TRUE (A1 style).
How to use the ADDRESS Function in Excel?To understand the uses of the cell ADDRESS function, let us consider a few examples: Example 1Suppose we wish to convert the following numbers into Excel column references: The formula to use will be: We get the results below: The ADDRESS function will first construct an address containing the column number. It was done by providing 1 for row number, a column number from B6, and 4 for the abs_num argument. After that, we use the SUBSTITUTE function to take out the number 1 and replace with “”. Example 2The ADDRESS function can be used to convert a column letter to a regular number, e.g., 21, 100, 126, etc. We can use a formula based on the INDIRECT and COLUMN functions. Suppose we are given the following data: The formula to use will be: We get the results below: The INDIRECT function transforms the text into a proper Excel reference and hands the result off to the COLUMN function. Then, the COLUMN function evaluates the reference and returns the column number for the reference. A few notes about the Cell ADDRESS Function
