In addition to cells, formulas may be entered as inputs to a number of dialogs. The following table lists some of the dialogs that support variable type inputs:

Dialog Type Option
Conditional format boolean formula rule
Data validation boolean/reference custom/list
Hyperlink reference subaddress
Chart series array named formula
Goto reference formula (rc/a1)
Macros any vba argument

For example highlighting the cell formula XLOOKUP(D1,A:A,B:B) and choosing the Goto command followed by enter resolves the formula as a cell reference, clicking Undo restores the original formula. And the same formula can be entered as a hyperlink address #XLOOKUP(D1,A:A,B:B).

To run a macro from a formula hyperlink, set the hyperlink address to a udf that returns a reference to the target cell and runs a command such as #MyMacro(rc). The same udf could be run from the Macros dialog with a vba argument enclosed in single quotes 'Mymacro Activecell' and clicking Run.
