Hi guys, not sure if this is even possible but I'm just curious. I know you can make VBA automatically populate a formula in certain cells in Excel, and also that you can insert columns and such next to a user selected cell. Is it possible however to write a code in which the user selects a column that contains data 1 (dates for example), and then selects a column with data 2 (names for example) and a final column with data 3 (dollar values). Then the code would run on a predefined range (a table that has names as row headers and dates as column headers) and populate a SUMIFS formula into all the cells- with the user selected columns as the criteria range and the defined name rows and date columns as the criteria.

If someone can point me on the right direction I'd greatly appreciate this. I'm struggling to figure out how to structure this macro so that a user input variable can be used inside the SUMIFS formula, changing the criteria range in the formula based on what the user selects. Let me know if this even seems possible in VBA.
