Excel Reference To Current Cell

Several years too late:

Just for completeness I want to give yet another answer:

First, go to Excel-Options -> Formulas and enable R1C1 references. Then use

  =CELL("width", RC)

RC always refers the current Row, current Column, i.e. “this cell”.

Rick Teachey’s solution is basically a tweak to make the same possible in A1 reference style (see also GSerg’s comment to Joey’s answer and note his comment to Patrick McDonald’s answer).

Cheers
🙂
