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
