You can use Indirect() for the column and row references.

A1 = $E$1355:$E$1978

A2 = $D$1355:$D$1978

A3 = $G$1355:$G$1978

=SUMPRODUCT((INDIRECT(A1)=0)*(INDIRECT(A2)<=0.49) *(INDIRECT(A2)=0)*(INDIRE
CT(A3)<=2.99)*(INDIRECT(A3)=U1355)*(INDIRECT(A3)< =V1355))

I am compiling a series of tables that calculate the occurences of
multiple data sets that satisfy specific conditions. I must apply these
tables to ever changing source data (within the same worksheet). The
formulas that exist within the table are absolute cell references eg

=SUMPRODUCT(($E$1355:$E$1978=0)*($D$1355:$D$1978< =0.49)*($D$1355:$D$1978=0
)*($G$1355:$G$1978<=2.99)*($G$1355:$G$1978=U1355) *($G$1355:$G$1978<=V1355))

is there a method by which the absolute cell reference could be entered
in another target cell such that

($E$1355:$E$1978=0) becomes (A1=0)

where A1 gives the range that must be considered, in this case
$E$1355:$E$1978

????????

Many thanks

Alex
