I need to the sum of one column - several rows. Example: Column J rows 3 thru
71 without entering each column and row number.

=SUM(J3:J71)

And a variation that allows you to insert rows immediately
before the formula.
J72: =SUM(J$3:OFFSET(J72,-1,0))

David,

Thank you for telling us about using Offset() in a situation like this or
something similar. It is dynamic. This is the kind of "tricks" or smart
tips I look forward to learning from MVP's. Your website is full of
excellent info. Thank you for sharing your expertise and time.

Cheers,

Epinn
