I'm stumped, it's too early in the morning...

How do I convert this cell calculation =SUM(R7C4:R11C4) into a function? I want to use the R1C1 version, as the row and columns will be variables in the end.

Rich (BB code):
Function Test()
Dim num as integer
   num = WorksheetFunction.Sum(Sheets("Sheet1").????????) 
End Function
:confused:
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Try

Code:
Function Test()
Dim num as integer, BeginRow As Long, EndRow As Long, BeginCol As Long, EndCol As Long
BeginRow = 7
EndRow = 11
BeginCol = 4
EndCol = 4
 
With Sheets("Sheet1")
    num = Application.Sum(.Range(.Cells(BeginRow, BeginCol), .Cells(EndRow, EndCol)))
End With
End Function


Hope that helps.

As argument for Evaluate is string, you can construct any formula by concatenation.
Code:
Sub Eval()
    MsgBox Evaluate("=SUM(R7C4:R11C4)")
End Sub
