ADDRESS and SUM
The INDIRECT function should be what you're looking for. Let's say your
formulas that return your 2 cell addresses are in A1 and A2. Then use this formula: =SUM(INDIRECT(A1&":"&A2)) This provides the sum of the range indicated by the cell references in A1 and A2. You could also incorporate your original formulas inside of the INDIRECT function. Something like: =SUM(INDIRECT(yourformula1&":"&yourformula2)) HTH, Elkar "psych142" wrote: Hi, have used an amalgamation of ADDRESS and MATCH to gain 2 cell addresses, how do i then get sum to add the 2 cell addresses?

Hi
Presumably you mean to add the contents of the 2 addresses. Why not post exactly what you are trying to achieve with an example of the type of data, as there is probably a way to achieve what you want without using Address. -- Regards Roger Govier "psych142" wrote in message ...

It seems like you may be overcomplicating your process.
If you describe what you're doing and give examples of your formulas we may find a more efficient approach. *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "psych142" wrote: Hi, have used an amalgamation of ADDRESS and MATCH to gain 2 cell addresses, how do i then get sum to add the 2 cell addresses?
