Default How can I assign a range starting cell based on a variable locati.

I'm wondering if there is a way to assign a range starting (or ending) cell
location based on a variable number. For instance, say I have cells B1
through B20 and want to take an average, but not of the entire range. Say I
only want to average B5:B20 but the "5" is given to me by a separate
equation. Is there a way to write

=AVERAGE(B???:B20)

so that the ??? is referenced to another cell? That way I can cite a range
based on a variable starting point.

Thanks,
Dave

by the way, these newsgroups are awesome
