Hello all,

I would like to make a Sum, based on a variable range of cells. Now I use an INDIRECT, but when I want to copy this formula to the cells on the right, the references stay the same, as they are considered as text.
Is there a possibility for automatically turning the Y into Z as I copy the formula from cell Y2 to cell Z2?
For your information: in cell $A$2 I store the number of lines of the used range. I fill cell A2 by means of a macro.

Excel Formula:
=SUM(INDIRECT("Y3:Y"&$A$2))

Many thanks!!
Patrick.

When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
It's easier if you don't use indirect.
Excel Formula:
=SUM(Y3:INDEX(Y:Y,$A$2))
