Hi there,
I will like to specify a function e.g. SUM to act on a cell whole address in
the content of another cell.

For instance, I want to sum Cell A12, and Ax and Ax where x is the content
of cell B12 for example. How do I reference a cell with the content of
another cell.

My task for requiring this is because I want to do the following:

Sum B12, B13, B14, B15.... Bxy to cell B4

The end of the B column to sum depends on the value in cell C2 for instance.
So if C2 contained 3, then, the sum function will be limited to SUM B12 and
B13, and B14 only. Then my result will be SUM (B4, B12:B14)

Likewise, had cell C2 contained 2, then my sum resuly would be SUM(B4,
B12:B13)

Thanks for your response.

I THINK you're looking for the INDIRECT function.
