Sum of continous cell
I need to sum budget from month 1 to month "N", where "N" is a variable that
changes each month, but I don't want to change the sum formula, only the variable that represents the month. |

Assuming your variable that changes each month is in cell B1, and assuming
the budgets from month to month are variable named such as Month1, you could use: =SUM(INDIRECT("Month1"):INDIRECT("Month"&B1)) Hope that helps. -- John C "Man" wrote: I need to sum budget from month 1 to month "N", where "N" is a variable that changes each month, but I don't want to change the sum formula, only the variable that represents the month. |

Assume:
Col A has your budget categories such as Travel, Entertainment, etc Cols B thru M are 'Jan' thru 'Dec' - The months, 'Jan' thru 'Dec' labels are in row 2 Col N has formula for totals for 'Jan' thru 'Dec' - The data starts in row 3 Cell A1 has the 'current' month that you want to sum to. ie: In Jan, Cell A1 = 1, in Feb, Cell A1 = 2, etc The formula in cell N3 would be... =SUM(B3:OFFSET(B3,0,$A$1-1)) Copy this formula down the worksheet. -- Hope this helps.

One way:
=SUM(A1:INDEX(A1:L1,n)) Where n = your variable. N can be a cell reference or it can be calculated: A2 = 7 =SUM(A1:INDEX(A1:L1,A1)) =SUM(A1:INDEX(A1:L1,MONTH(NOW()))) Both of the above formulas translate to: =SUM(A1:G1) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Man" wrote in message ...
