I can't seem to find a formula to do series of sums.
I would like to calculate the following series:
For n = 0 to n=B1/B3
sum: (A1+(A2*n))*A3

I responded to your posting in the same "discussion group" 11 hours earlier.

Well, you could write the following UDF. Note that the variable names a1,
a3, etc do not have to match the cell names. I use them just to help you
relate to the above formula. You can call the UDF from Excel with any cells;
for example: =mysum(A1,A3,A6,B1,B3)

However, note that the series sum can be reduced to a single algebraic
formula. So instead of the UDF, you can write:

=A6* (A1*(B3-B1+1) + A3*(B3-B1)*(B3-B1+1)/2)

which can be simplified further to:

=A6 * (B3-B1+1) * (A1+A3*(B3-B1)/2)

UDF....

Option Explicit
Function mysum(a1 As Double, a3 As Double, _
a6 As Double, b1 As Double, b3 As Double) _
As Double
Dim s As Double, n As Double
s = 0
For n = 0 To b3 - b1
s = s + (a1 + (a3 * n)) * a6
Next
mysum = s
End Function
