expression Required. An expression that returns a Hyperlink object (Syntax 1) or a Range object (Syntax 2).
RowAbsolute Optional Variant. True to return the row part of the reference as an absolute reference. The default value is True.
ColumnAbsolute Optional Variant. True to return the column part of the reference as an absolute reference. The default value is True.
ReferenceStyle Optional Variant. Can be one of the following XlReferenceStyle constants: xlA1 or xlR1C1. Use xlA1 to return an A1-style reference. Use xlR1C1 to return an R1C1-style reference. The default value is xlA1.
External Optional Variant. True to return an external reference. False to return a local reference. The default value is False.
RelativeTo Optional Variant. If RowAbsolute and ColumnAbsolute are False, and ReferenceStyle is xlR1C1, you must include a starting point for the relative reference. This argument is a Range object that defines the starting point.

Example
The following example displays four different representations of the same cell address on Sheet1. The comments in the example are the addresses that will be displayed in the message boxes.
Set mc = Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(1, 1)
MsgBox mc.Address() ' $A$1
MsgBox mc.Address(RowAbsolute:=False) ' $A1
MsgBox mc.Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlR1C1) ' R1C1
MsgBox mc.Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlR1C1, _
RowAbsolute:=False, _
ColumnAbsolute:=False, _
RelativeTo:=Worksheets(1).Cells(3, 3)) ' R[-2]C[-2]
