Return a range based on a variable
Column A contains these five numbers: 9,2,3,5,8
Cell A7 contains the number 4 I need a formula that does the following: Sum the numbers in column A up to the number of rows in A7. Formula evaluates to 19 (9+2+3+5) Thanks, -- Art |

Mike, works perfectly.
Would you (or anyone smarter than me) explain how the formula works? -- Art "Mike H" wrote: Hi, Try this =SUM(INDIRECT("A1:A" & A7)) Mike "Art" wrote: Column A contains these five numbers: 9,2,3,5,8 Cell A7 contains the number 4 I need a formula that does the following: Sum the numbers in column A up to the number of rows in A7.

Art,
=SUM(INDIRECT("A1:A" & A7)) INDIRECT treats the bit in quotes as text and then concatenates the value it finds in A7 to build a valid Excel formula so say A7 contains the number 4 the formula evaluates as =sum(a1:a4) what you can't do is this =sum(a1:a & a7) you have to use indirect.
