This function gives the information about the formatting, location, or contents of the upper-left cell in a reference. Let's see an example if an element is placed in the B4 cell,i.e 4th row
then =CELL(“row”,B2) is 2 =CELL(“row”,B3) is 3
where Infotype is a text value that specifies what type of cell information that want. And 'ref' is the cell that want information about.
| Column1 | Column2 | Column3 | Column4 | |
| Row1 | 12 | 2 | ||
| Row2 | 5 | 3 | ||
| Row3 | ||||
| Row4 | ||||
| Row5 | ||||
| Row6 |
Let's C1R1= PLACE
then =CELL(“contents”,B2) is PLACE
