» Summing Values In a Range Specified By Indirect Cell References
CATEGORY - Summing
VERSION - All Microsoft Excel Versions
Column A contains a list of numbers.
Columns B:C contain pairs of cell references, representing the beginning and end of a specific range from column A, which we would like to sum.
How could we create a formula that will sum the values included in each of the ranges specified in columns B:C?
Solution:
Using the INDIRECT function, as follows:
=SUM(INDIRECT(B2&"":""&C2))

Problem:
Column A contains a list of numbers.

How could we create a formula that will sum the values included in each of the ranges specified in columns B:C?
Solution:
Using the INDIRECT function, as follows:
=SUM(INDIRECT(B2&"":""&C2)) ... should be
=SUM(INDIRECT(B2&":"&C2))
=IF(ISBLANK(A4),"",RANK(A4,A:A))
