How can I sum all cells above a cell. For instance I have spreadsheets with
varying numbers of rows, and I want to add a sum total at the bottom of each
of those columns. Since the number of rows is unknown, I am unsure of what to
put after the word "sum"....... Here is the code I have:

ActiveCell.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(1, -2).Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=SUM(?????????)"

cLastRow = Cells(Rows.Count,activecell.column).End(xlUp).Row
Cells(cLastRow+1,Activecell.column).FormulaR1C1="= SUM(R1C:R" & clastrow
& "C)"

Hi Bob, Your solution works quite well but what if the first row contains
headings and you don't want that row included in the equation? This is how
the AutoSum icon works. Can a solution do that too?

TIA

Sum ignores the header if it is text.

or you could do

cLastRow = Cells(Rows.Count,activecell.column).End(xlUp).Row
Cells(cLastRow+1,Activecell.column).FormulaR1C1="= SUM(R2C:R" & clastrow
& "C)"
