# Widget references

In formulas, widget references are used to access the content of a widget.

**Syntax:** <mark style="color:blue;">#page.widget</mark>

with

* <mark style="color:blue;">page</mark> - name of the page of the referenced widget *- optional*
* <mark style="color:blue;">widget</mark> - name of the referenced widget

**Remark**

* An alternative syntax is just using <mark style="color:blue;">#me</mark>. In this case the widget that executes the current formula is returned.

**Examples**

* <mark style="color:blue;">#page1.cell1</mark> - returns the content of the widget with the name *cell1* in page *page1*
* <mark style="color:blue;">#table1</mark> - returns the content of the widget with the name *text1* in the current page
* <mark style="color:blue;">#me</mark> - returns the content of the widget that executes the current formula.
