if you want it at the top, then you don't care where the bottom is

Range("A1:M1").Formula = "=Sum(A3:A65536)"

It doesn't matter where I put it. The problem I am having is getting the
formula =sum(c3:CXXX) where for that column XXX is unknown until the sheet
has been created by a search and copy/paste macro.

Wouldn't it just be easier to put the sum at the top?

Hi

I have a sheet which is created from a search of a much larger sheet.
the
number of rows can vary from 1 to XXX. I would like to do a sum of the
columns and have it placed on the next empty row. I have tried using
the
.formula = "=sum(c3:C"+variable+")" in a loop but just get mismatch
errors.
any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Regards

Stu
