Thank you for turning the caps off.

I would still work up as I previously suggested. It is relatively easy to
work out the previous blank in a worksheet, just use

Activecell.End(xlUp).Offset(-1,0)

which is basically saying, go up from where I am until the previous row is
blank (End(xlUp), then one more to that blank (Offset(-1,0)).

Adding .Row at the end returns that row number. This can be used in setting
the formula like so

With ActiveCell
.FormulaR1C1 = "=SUM(R" & .End(xlUp).Row & "C:R[-1]C)"
End With

However, from your description, you seem to want to set these totals for
many blocks, so I would use that similar technique in a loop, without using
ACtivecell, but indexing directly into the cells

Dim i As Long
Dim iRow As Long

With ActiveSheet
i = Cells(.Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row + 1
Do While i 0
iRow = .Cells(i - 1, "B").End(xlUp).Row
.Cells(i, "B").FormulaR1C1 = "=SUM(R" & iRow & "C:R[-1]C)"
i = iRow - 1
Loop
End With

Dear Bob

As instructed 'caps lock is off". Aye Aye Sir.

I tried what u sugested. There is progress. But unwanted results.
It is giving the formula in each group from top to the blank cell. I
have plenty groups on the same column with one blank space between
each group where the sum formula for the respective group to fit it.

For example: first group b5:b10 ; second group b12.b17; third group
b19.b29
How to write the sum formula using cells range in VB code after the
cell is activated in VB at b11, b18 and b30.

Finally in the excel sheet the formula at b11 should be like:
=sum(b5.b10); and at b18: =sum(b12.b17)
and at b30: =sum(b19.b29). The VB code is necessary bcos the group
numbers will not be constant and may increase or decrease.

Very eagerly awaiting to complete the task in hand. To tell u the
fact-- the actual calculation i am doing is for my ship where i have
four kinds of cargo tanks. I am trying to automatically sum the
groups once the tanks are rearranged when the new cargo is alloted.

Thanks for ur time and I am obligated for ur assistance.

The formula I gave you will sum from row 1 to the row above the one that
you
put the formula in, so you don't need to know.

can you turn your caps lock off, it is annoying.

DEAR BOB
THANKS FOR QUICK RESPONSE. THE PROBLEM IS I DONT KNOW HOW MANY ROWS I
HAVE TO SUM. I CAN GET THE NUMBER OF ROWS USING ROW COUNT. I WANT TO
USE THIS VARIABLE IN THE SUM FORMULA IN VB
(ACTIVECELL.FORMULAR1C1="SUM(ROWVAR COLVAR: ROWVAR2 COLVAR2)".

ALFA 500
BETA 500
GAMA 500
TOP GROUP (how to put sum formula in VB for this group)

LIKE THIS I WILL HAVE MANY GROUPS. ABLE TO GET THE GROUPS
ISOLATED BY
USING LISTBOX AND VB.
I AM UNABLE TO WRITE THE SUM FORMULA IN VBTO AUTOMATICALLY
CALCULATE
THE TOTAL SUM OF THE BONUS AWARDED FOR THE FIRST GROUP AND TOP
GROUP
AND SO ON.

PLS HELP

WHAT I AM UNABLE TO DO IS AT THE END OF EACH GROUP I AM UNABLE TO
ENTER THE SUM FUNCTION AS THE NOTATION IS DIFFICULAT AND NO IDEA
HOW
TO MAKE THE STATEMENT IN VB USING OFFSET OR HOW TO MAKE OUT IN VB
HOW
MANY CELLS TO THE TOP IT MUST ADD. LIKE SUM( D20.D10).

THANKING YOU
