I am compiling a series of tables that calculate the occurences of
multiple data sets that satisfy specific conditions. I must apply these
tables to ever changing source data (within the same worksheet). The
formulas that exist within the table are absolute cell references eg

=SUMPRODUCT(($E$1355:$E$1978=0)*($D$1355:$D$1978< =0.49)*($D$1355:$D$1978=0)*($G$1355:$G$1978<=2.99 )*($G$1355:$G$1978=U1355)*($G$1355:$G$1978<=V1355 ))

is there a method by which the absolute cell reference could be entered
in another target cell such that

($E$1355:$E$1978=0) becomes (A1=0)

where A1 gives the range that must be considered, in this case
$E$1355:$E$1978

????????

Many thanks

Alex

try something like the offset() function
in A1 put $E$1355 in A2 put 623
if the relationships between the sections is always the same

=SUMPRODUCT((Offset($A$1,0,0,$A$2)=0)*(Offset($A$ 1,0,-1,$A$2)<=0.49)*(Offset($A$1,0,-1,$A$2)=0)*(Offset($A$1,0,2,$A$2)<=2.99)*(Offset( $A$1,0,2,$A$2)=U1355)*(Offset($A$1,0,2,$A$2)<=V13 55))

You can use Indirect() for the column and row references.

A1 = $E$1355:$E$1978

A2 = $D$1355:$D$1978

A3 = $G$1355:$G$1978

=SUMPRODUCT((INDIRECT(A1)=0)*(INDIRECT(A2)<=0.49) *(INDIRECT(A2)=0)*(INDIRE
CT(A3)<=2.99)*(INDIRECT(A3)=U1355)*(INDIRECT(A3)< =V1355))
