Hi,
It's been a while since I've been on here but it's good to be back! And I thought I would start by asking for help with the below, to make things simple I have made my formulas generic just incase anyone else would find this solution useful.
I have a formula to sum the values across several sheets, =SUM('1:100'!A1), and it does the job as expected adding all values in A1 across the sheets in that range.
I would like to replace the 1 and 100 so it uses values from two cells, lets say these are located on a sheet called DATA and the first cell is A1 and the second is A2.
I've tried my best to get this to work with the INDIRECT function but it just doesn't want to work for me! I've attepted this using the 2 ways below:
=SUM(INDIRECT("'"&DATA!A1&":"&DATA!A2&"'!A1")) creating a range using INDIRECT within the SUM function
=INDIRECT("SUM('"&DATA!A1&":"&DATA!A2&"'!A1)") using everything within the INDIRECT function
I know I've propably missed something simple but I can't for the life of me figure it out.
As always thanks for your help,
Harribone
EDIT
I have also tried creating a text string in a cell to generate the range to sum and then using the INDIRECT function referencing that cell. That hasn't worked so I think this might not be sommething that can be done...
