Formula should retain
Hi, In A1 I have formula sum(A3:A12), however when I insert a line in the range, the formula changes to sum(A4:A13), however I would like the formula to stay the same. An idea is sum(Indirect("A3:A12")), however this isnt very flexible. Many Thanks -- T De Villiers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ T De Villiers's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=26479 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=558787 |

It isn't, but it is the only way (at least that I know of).
What specifically is not flexible about it, there may some tweaks to use? -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) "T De Villiers" wrote in message news:T.De.Villiers.2aipgz_1152179104.2158@excelfor um-nospam.com...

Hi, When I mean sum(indirect("a3:a12")) is inflexible, if I copy it acros it stays as sum(indirect("a3:a12")), as opposed to sum(indirect("b3:b12")) Mnay Thank -- T De Villier ----------------------------------------------------------------------- T De Villiers's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=2647 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=55878 |

Thought it might be something like that. Try
