Let's say for example in Cell A500, I have the following:
"Total for Col. A: 360"

I update this number manually every time I had a new item in col. A (sometimes this list changes on a monthly basis). What I'd like to do is take whatever number it happens to be and add 171.

In a different cell, I would like the following:

Total Effective Count xxx (DLCs only). Where XXX equals whatever appears in cell A500+171. If there's a formula for this, I would appreciate some help. Thanks.

If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Glad to help & thanks for the feedback.
