To reference a number in a cell, you usually just type something like: =B63
That extracts the value from what’s in cell B63. Easy and straightforward.
But I need to modify the "63" part so it uses a different number from another cell. For example, if I set the value in Z1 to 30, I’d think of using =B(63-Z1) to get B33. That doesn’t seem to work.
Anyone know how to adjust that?

=INDIRECT( )
In this case, the data resides in cells B20 and B22.
Variables in F1 and F2
Output in B10
The formula in B10 reads
=INDIRECT(F1&F2)
Modify the value of F2 to 20, causing B10 to update to 400

When combining two cell values, the desired output cell should contain the specified command or formula. For instance, adding C87 and C86 would look like =SUM(C87+C86), and applying this to B55 shows the sum in that location. Similarly, subtracting would be represented as =SUM(C87-C86).

USAFRet, your feedback is great, really. That's definitely useful. I might have other questions since I might not have asked the right one, but I'll work on my spreadsheet and follow up if needed. Thanks again!
