Return a range based on a variable
Art,
=SUM(INDIRECT("A1:A" & A7))
INDIRECT treats the bit in quotes as text and then concatenates the value it
finds in A7 to build a valid Excel formula so say A7 contains the number 4
the formula evaluates as
=sum(a1:a4)
what you can't do is this
=sum(a1:a & a7)
you have to use indirect.

Mike, works perfectly.
Would you (or anyone smarter than me) explain how the formula works?

Column A contains these five numbers: 9,2,3,5,8
Cell A7 contains the number 4
I need a formula that does the following:
Sum the numbers in column A up to the number of rows in A7.
Formula evaluates to 19 (9+2+3+5)
Thanks,
