    Execute Text as Function

    I am compiling a relatively complex sheet with various Bloomberg functions, which are done by concatenate, and would like to document it clearly as well as for bug testing see both result and formula.

    Thus I am after a function which will execute a text string as function - without using VBA as other people in my department are supposed to be able to understand it in years to come.

    Hence I want to write e.g. Today() into Cell A1 and then write "Execute A1" into B1 so that I have the resulting date.

    Then I have
    A1 B1
    Today() 11.2.2008

    put today() in A1 and put =today() in B1

    put A1+7 in A2 and put =A2+7 in B2

    in other words do not put the = sign in column A

    Change not followed through

    But then if I change Today() in A1 to e.g. Now() I also have to change it in B1.
    I want a change in A1 to be reflected immediately so that I can change the formula and straight see the result
