Question on index
How does this sum sheet1 A1 to the last thing in column A without putting a
number or foumula in D1? =SUM(Sheet1!A1:INDEX(Sheet1!A:A,$D$1)) I have use this in D1, =MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,Sheet1!A:A) , before to use this kind of formula but today I put the formula in without anything in D1 and it looks like it works???? Is this the best way to do this?? Thanks, using excel 2003 |

From XL Help ("INDEX"): If you set row_num or column_num to 0 (zero), INDEX returns the reference for the entire column or row, respectively In article , "Paul B" wrote: How does this sum sheet1 A1 to the last thing in column A without putting a number or foumula in D1? =SUM(Sheet1!A1:INDEX(Sheet1!A:A,$D$1)) I have use this in D1, =MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,Sheet1!A:A) , before to use this kind of formula but today I put the formula in without anything in D1 and it looks like it works????

Question on index
Hi,
If you don't specify the second argument is assumes all, so you could actually replace =SUM(Sheet1!A1:INDEX(Sheet1!A:A,$D$1)) with =SUM(Sheet1!A1:INDEX(Sheet1!A:A,)) And it would still work. However, this defeats the purpose of the formula, which is to control how many cells are summed. If you just want to sum them all, this formula is overkill, you should just use =SUM(A:A) -- If this helps, please click the Yes button Cheers, Shane Devenshire "Paul B" wrote: How does this sum sheet1 A1 to the last thing in column A without putting a number or foumula in D1? =SUM(Sheet1!A1:INDEX(Sheet1!A:A,$D$1)) I have use this in D1, =MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,Sheet1!A:A) , before to use this kind of formula but today I put the formula in without anything in D1 and it looks like it works????

Question on index
I was trying to incorporate it in this formula to get the last row, is there
another way to do it with a formula like this? SUMPRODUCT((Data!$A$3:$A$579=$B52)*(YEAR(Data!$B$3 :$B$579)=$A52),Data!F$3:F$579) Column A is names Column B is dates Column F is price Thanks "JE McGimpsey" wrote in message ...
