How to get the value from another cell that is part of the range

[mchlkwn]

Hello:

Need some help from the experts.

I'm trying to write a formula which looks like
=SUM(<beginning row>, <ending row>), there are 30 formulas look like this. Just too many to type in all 30 and easily make mistake.


if
<beginning row> is 17
<ending row> is 28
Formula above will have the sum between 17 and 28.
Should look something like when expended (beginning rows and ending rows are using formula)

SUM(E17:E28)
SUM(E29:E40)
SUM(E41:E52)

Effectively, I have the sum of
1st 12 rows
2nd 12 rows
3rd 12 rows

Please advise

thanks

What formula are you using to generate the start row and end row?

It would help if you attached a sample Excel workbook - the yellow banner at the top of the screen explains how to do this.

Hi:

Attached is the sample Excel, column B and C are using simple formulas.
Column A are the formula I need help with, there are 360 rows of data I need the sum
the sum of 1st 12 rows
the sum of 2nd 12 rows
the sum of 3rd 12 rows
and so on

Sorry, the sample is missing data, column E should have 360 rows of data

thanks

You can use this formula in A1:

=SUM(INDEX(E:E,B1):INDEX(E:E,C1))

then copy down. If the ranges are always 12 cells, then you don't really need column C - use this instead in A1:

=SUM(INDEX(E:E,B1):INDEX(E:E,B1+11))

Hope this helps.

Hi.

Is your forum profile showing the Excel PRODUCT that you need this request to work with?

The best solutions often rely on knowing WHICH Office PRODUCT (Excel, NOT Windows) that you have. Please check that your forum profile is up-to-date. If you aren't sure, in Excel go to File/Account and report what it says below the MS logo at the top of that page. If your version is for Mac, please also state this.

The three most recent Excel PRODUCTS are Excel 2019, Excel 2021 and MS365 - if you are using MS365, please give this name along with the Version number in your profile (e.g. MS365 (PC) Version 2211). The version number is in the About Excel section further down the Account page.

Cheers,

Glenn.
