How can I make a range "dynamic"?
Hello all,
I have a range of cells that I need to reference. This range always starts at B23 and goes to B??? (the last row will be different each time we open the file and load data). What I want to be able to do is enter the number of the last row of this range in B1 and then reference from that cell. Let's say this time I'm using the file, the last row will be 987, so my range I need to reference will need to be B23:B987. I want to enter 987 in B1 and then something like: =SUM(B23:B(& the value in B1)) Any help will be greatly appreciated, Conan Kelly |

Anything wrong with using =SUM(B:B)
Failing that, do you have any gaps at all in the data from B23 to B?? and is there any data in column B below B?? -- Regards Ken.......................

B1:
=MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,B23:B65536) =SUM(B23:OFFSET(B23,B1-1,0)) Conan Kelly wrote: Hello all, I have a range of cells that I need to reference. This range always starts at B23 and goes to B???

Another option:
=SUM(B23:INDEX(B23:B65536,B1)) Or, eliminate the use of the formula in B1: =SUM(B23:INDEX(B23:B65536,MATCH(9.9999999999999E+3 07,B23:B65536))) Biff "Aladin Akyurek" wrote in message ...

Don't worry about using B1 and =Sum(B:B)-Sum(B1:B22) It elimnates the '9.9999999999999E+307' that I know Biff likes so much <bg Cheers RES |
