Hello

How can I sum up for example A4 through A16 and have the total appear in A17, i.e., A17 = SUM(A4:A16)

What is the VBA syntax to get the above.


Thank you,

Jen T.

Had you tried this in vba you would have gotten an error msg. Then select
the word sum and use f1 to find out how.

Sub sumem()
MsgBox Sum("g5:g10")
End Sub

Here is the code:

ActiveSheet.Range("A17") = Application.Sum(ActiveSheet.Range("A1:A16"))

This inserts the total. Not a formula.

Sorry I got the range wong. It should read

ActiveSheet.Range("A17") = Application.Sum(ActiveSheet.Range("A4:A16"))

Oops...

The answers that you have so far "hard code" th erange to be summed

The example below adds some flexibility, although for the example I left out
error handling - you can do that :)

I have data in column C starting at line 4, my "test" adds the total

Option Explicit
Public Sub Test()
AddTotals 4, "C"
End Sub

Public Sub AddTotals(lFirstRow As Long, sColumn As String)

With Cells(lFirstRow, sColumn).End(xlDown).Offset(1, 0)

.FormulaR1C1 = "=SUM(R[-1]C:R" & lFirstRow & "C)"

End With


End Sub
