Reference Text from one cell to another cell, using a formula

Buster Davis

I have text in a column called “Task Name”. I want to reference the content in cell 1 to cell 3. What should that formula look look.. I have tried =[Task Name]1 but it does not work.

Ah. Ok. Try this...

="Answer: " + [Task Name]1

That should work. Are you receiving an error? Are you able to provided a screenshot with sensitive/confidential data removed, blocked, or replaced with "dummy data" as needed?

Buster Davis

no it is not working.. let me point out one other thing..

In cell 3, if I have just the formula in there , it works. But if I have something like "Answer: =[Task Name]1" all in cell 3, it does not work..

Ah. Ok. Try this...

="Answer: " + [Task Name]1
