What formulas to use in a DCF?

Hi guys, seen several types of formulas being used to link in numbers from the P&L to the DCF-model. Which one is considered the most “advanced”, since I want to show of on my upcoming internship. Yes it’s true, lol

Haha this is kind of silly but what I'm asking about is basically if you just link cells in your UFCF model directly to e.g your IS (take revenue as an example). Or do you use some type of lookup formula or whatever instead of just linking it to the original cell?
