excel problem: sum(address(4,2,1):address(2,1,1))
I want to construct ranges using the address function, but it comes out
invalid. An example is sum (address(4,2,1):address(20,2,1)) or sum (address(e7,2,1):address(e8,2,1)) but I keep getting that this is invalid. The general idea is to be able to use another cell to tell me where a range begins and ends. I was able to do this years ago in 123, but excel has trouble with it. How can I accomplish this? |

The ADDRESS worksheet function returns a string, not a cell reference. From HELP: "Creates a cell address as text" So if you want to create a function to do what you describe above, you need something like: =SUM(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(4,2,1)&":"&ADDRESS(20,2,1))) --ron |

Try one of these:
=SUM(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(4,2,1)&":"&ADDRESS(20,2,1))) E7 = 4 E8 = 20 =SUM(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(E7,2,1)&":"&ADDRESS(E8,2,1)) ) =SUM(INDIRECT("B"&E7):INDEX(B:B,E8)) =SUM(B4:INDEX(B:B,E8)) Biff "DrSlowpoke" wrote in message ...
