Column A contains an ascending list of numbers.
How could we create a formula that will sum up all the numbers in column A larger than 2,
and will automatically update the result upon the addition of numbers to the list?
Solution:
Use the MATCH, COUNTIF and OFFSET functions, in the following SUM formula:
=SUM(OFFSET(A2,MATCH(C2,A2:A10,0),0,COUNTIF(A2:A10,"">""&C2)))
