Can someone please suggest a formula for summing the contents in a row - for
a range consisting of the 12 columns immediately to the left of a specified
column in that row

How do you (intend to) specify the start column?

If the specified cell would be for instance N10

=SUM(OFFSET(N10,,-1,,-12))

will sum B10:M10

hi,
select a cell in which you want the sum to be shown.If B2:H2 is to be
totalled in A2, put the formula in A2 =sum(B2:H2)

Ciao Steve,
I think you can use:
=SUM(INDIRECT("rc[-12]:rc[-1]",FALSE))

That you can put in a reference to a definited name (es: sum12)
so you can use in worksheet =sum12

Or you can change style to reference from A1 to R1C1 ed use:
=SUM(rc[-12]:rc[-1])
