How to use Indirect functions?
 

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to use Indirect function?
For Example, there is a list of numbers under column A, a given number 20 in
cell B1 and a formula sum(A81:A100)/20 in cell C1.
If I change the number 20 into 30 in cell B1, then the formula will become
sum(A71:A100)/30.
If I change the number 20 into 40 in cell B1, then the formula will become
sum(A61:A100)/40.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

How to use Indirect functions?
 

So you actually want the average?

One way:

=AVERAGE(OFFSET(A1,99,,-B1))

Try this:

=SUM(INDIRECT("A"&101-B1):A100)/B1
