Usage Examples

Example 1. Getting a cell»s address in A1 format:

The result of the function =ADDRESS(1, 2) in cell C1 will be $B$1, as it returns an absolute reference in A1 format.

Example 2. Getting a cell»s address in R1C1 format:

The result of the function =ADDRESS(1, 2, 1, FALSE) in cell C1 will be R1C2, as it returns an absolute reference in R1C1 format.
