=sumif(range,criteria,sum_range)
Suggestion: to allow the sumif function to work even if (....sum_range) be
replaced by cell formula, just like vlookup function. example
=vlookup(criteria,range,off-set column,false) where offset can be replaced
by a cell with value 1, 2, 3 etc
What I mean for sumif function, if sum_range (is column B:B) can be replaced
by a cell contains "B:B" string.

Hi,

You can already do that. You can use a formula like

=SUMIF(C6:C11,C14,INDIRECT(G6))

where G6 holds the range to be summed I.e. D6:D11
