Retrieving Cell name in Excel

Tags:

excel

Is there a way of displaying the cell name of a particular cell in another cell? I would like to display the cell name in the adjacent cell so that the user is able to identify the cell name without clicking it.

How do you find the cell name in Excel?

You can find a named range by using the Go To feature—which navigates to any named range throughout the entire workbook. You can find a named range by going to the Home tab, clicking Find & Select, and then Go To. Or, press Ctrl+G on your keyboard. In the Go to box, double-click the named range you want to find.

How do you return a cell reference in Excel?

The ADDRESS function returns the address for a cell based on a given row and column number. For example, =ADDRESS(1,1) returns $A$1. ADDRESS can return a relative, mixed, or absolute reference, and can be used to construct a cell reference inside a formula.

ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN()) will give you the address, e.g. $A$1 of the current cell. Add/subtract from the row/column values (numbers) to reference the cell you are after.

If you don't want the $ then you can find and replace it with SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN()),"$","") and get just A1 for example
