I am trying to construct a cell reference from char functions; for example, if I want to reference the cell "A2" I would enter: ="A2"; which I could rewrite as: =INDIRECT("A"&2) ; which can be rewritten in char functions as: =INDIRECT( CHAR(34)&CHAR(85)&CHAR(34)&CHAR(50) ) ; where: "=CHAR(34), A=CHAR(85), and 2=CHAR(50).
However, this char function formula results in the "#REF!" error; how would I be able to successfully enter this formula with char functions?

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
