Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
You could use a helper column

You can place a formula in cell D3 and say
IF "X" is found in E3:I6, then D3 is "Y", else D3 is "X")

BUT you cannot REPLACE the value in a cell in the way you want - the ONLY way to do that would be to use VBA
