Convert cell contents to range
I named a group of cells "northwest" which contains sales data. I could sum
the sales data with a formula =sum(northwest). Is there a way to sum the sales data with a formula =sum(A2) where cell A2 contains the text "northwest"? |

Convert cell contents to range
Dedicated to Max:
Try this: =SUM(INDIRECT(A2)) Note: this will not work if "northwest" is a dynamic named range. Biff "jgrogan" wrote in message ... I named a group of cells "northwest" which contains sales data.
