For example, ADDRESS(2,3) returns $C $2. Take another Example, ADDRESS(77,300) returns $KN $77. You can provide the row number and column number parameters to the ADDRESS function using other functions such as the ROW and COLUMN functions.

Argument | describe | Required/Optional |
---|---|---|
row_num | A numeric value that specifies the row number to use in the cell reference. | Required |
column_num | A numeric value that specifies the column number to use in the cell reference. | Required |
abs_num | A numeric value that specifies the type of reference to be returned. Please see the table below. |
Optional |
a1 | A logical value specifying A1 or R1C1 citation style. In the A1 style, columns are labeled with letters and rows with numbers. In R1C1 reference style, columns and rows are numbered. If the A1 parameter is TRUE or omitted, the ADDRESS function returns an A1-style reference. If the A1 parameter is FALSE, the ADDRESS function returns an R1C1-style reference. |
Optional |
sheet_text | Text value that specifies the name of the worksheet to be used as an external reference. For example, the formula = ADDRESS(1,1, "Sheet 2") returns Sheet 2!$A $1. If the sheet_text argument is omitted, the sheet name is not used and the address returned by the function refers to the cell on the current sheet. |
Optional |
The abs_num parameter returns the following values -
abs_num | Returns a reference of this type |
---|---|
1 or omitted | absolute |
2 | Absolute row; relative column |
3 | Relative row; absolute column |
4 | relatively |
