Try...
=SUM(A5:INDEX(A5:A65536,B5))
...where B5 contains the number of cells you want included. Then link
B5 to your slider.
Hope this helps!

I want to be able to define the number of cells in a column that will be
included in a calculation.
=SUM(A5:A25)/2
So in the above example I have selected 20 cell in column A. I want to
be able to set the number via a slider on the spread sheet to capture
any number of cell below the cell with the formula in it. So, and I
know this does not work but, =SUM(A5:A(X))/2 where X equals the number
of cells that I want included. I want to avoid VBA because this will
update a graph and I don't want to run a macro every time the data gets
changed to update my graph.
I have gone through the Excel 2003 Bible, called MS Office support and
combed the web. There must be a simple way to accomplish this without
a macro.
Thanks to all. Michael
