Dear Bretai2k, Good Morning.

It´s very important always, the user attach here a worksheet with an example about your question.
It´s quicker, easier and all the answers are effective on the solution.

At first time you said:
"...Originally Posted by Bretai2k
I have 2 dropdowns (A2 and B2) on sheet 1 that both reference cells B2 through B75 on sheet 2. I want to be able to do a SUM of all cells in the B column of sheet 2 between what I select in dropdowns A2 and B2.
I can provide examples if this is not clear enough.TIA
..."

Then, the formula was built pointing to these cells.
=SUM(INDIRECT(CONCATENATE("Sheet2!$B",MATCH(A2,She et2!$B$2:$B$75,0)+1,":$B",MATCH(B2,Sheet2!$B$2:$B$ 75, 0)+1))

NOW, you´re saying this:
"...The actual range of cells I want to validate against is on Sheet1, cells B2 through B75, while the function is checking the start and end of the range on sheet 2, cells A2 and B2...."
Then you need to invert the formula.

Put on any cell on SHEET2 this fórmula:
=SUM(INDIRECT(CONCATENATE("Sheet1!$B",MATCH(A2,She et1!$B$2:$B$75,0)+1,":$B",MATCH(B2,Sheet1!$B$2:$B$ 75, 0)+1))

Is this working for you now?
It still does not appear to be working. It could simply be that I am not asking the correct question. I'm sorry, I should have added the spreadsheet in question from the get go and here it is. Basically I want to select an option for Sheet2 A2 (sorry my sheets are named backwards), also select an option for Sheet2 B2, then have a function that looks at A2 and B2 on Sheet 2, then uses A2 as it's start point, and B2 as it's end point for giving a SUM of every item in the list in Sheet 1 B3 through B78, and give me the result.

Hope this helps you help me :D.

Again, thank you for all of your help on this.

Have a look at the attached, specifically the yellow cell (G6).
Is this what you mean??
