I used the define name and refers to =GET.CELL(6,Sheet1!$A1) , and it does
exactly what I wanted, but out of curiousity what does the 6 mean?

From the Function Reference documentation for Excel 4:

GET.CELL returns information about the formatting, location, or contents of
a cell. The syntax is GET.CELL(type_num,reference). There are 53 possible
values for type_num. With type_num = 6, the function returns "Formula in
reference, as text, in either A1 or R1C1 style depending on the workspace
setting."

Actually, there are 66, but who's counting. The full reference is available
