How to sum a variable number of items
How do I sum the first X cells in a list where X is defined in another cell?
Specifically, I have a list of numbers in cells B4:B30. In cell A1, I have another number, which I want to be able to change around. So that if A1=4, then I sum B4:B8, but if A1=5, then I sum B4:B9 and so on. |
