Hi,

I have a very simple formula =sum(A1:A100).

If I highlight lines 20 to 40 and then delete the entire line the formula
will update to =sum(A1:A80).

Is there any way I can stop this update happening when I delete lines?

Thanks
LiAD

Hi LiAD,

Try =sum(A$1:A$100)

Hope this helps.

Gav123,

I'm afraid that doesn't work, see my response.

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

Hi,

Try this

=SUM(INDIRECT("A1:A100"))
