The Cell functions can modify the result only in the cell, where they was called from.

This means one cell for "normal" functions or more cells for array functions.

If you want repeat a value of a specific cell (A1) in an another cell (B1) then use a simple reference in the another cell:

Code: Select all

=A1

This is the method:
• Edit → Copy (in current cell)
• Select another cell
• Edit → Paste Special → Options: Link
• These choices are probably already set: Selection: Paste All → Operations: None → Shift Cells: Don't
• OK

You can record a macro to perform the last three steps.
