I would like to create a SUM function that goes from A1:A10 (for example) and
does not expand or contract as I add or remove cells within the array.
Currently if I insert a cell, the function will change to A1:A11 which I do
not want. Ideas?

=SUM(INDIRECT("A1:A10"))

Try something like this:

=SUM(INDIRECT("a1:a10"))

Does that help?
