    I am looking for a formula adding values extracted from table. excel 2010

    Hi there, i have been testing and trying many formulas but i can't seem to get the right one.

    I am trying to make my excel look neat and at the same time make it simpler for myself to use.

    I have a small table which i want to formulate as shown in the attachment.

    I would like to be able to type a number in the given yellow boxes and have the result in the green box.

    Example:

    Yellow box 1 : 2
    Yellow box 2 : 23
    Green box : sum of all the prices of the boxes ranging from 2-23.

    The problem here is that i do not want to add the level numbers together, i want to be able to type in the level number in the yellow boxes and it automatically extracts the price value and adds them all up in the green box.

    Re: Cant figure out formula. excel 2010

    You can use this like
    =Sum("Click the first yellow cell in the row":"click the second yellow cell in the same row")

    For example if you first yellow cell is C2 then type the below formula in Z2
    =SUM(C2:Y2)

    Re: Simple adding value extracted from table. excel 2010

    Thank you arlu, amended title and described my problem more accurately.

    Thank you sktneer as well for trying, but i don't think the sum works because it just adds the level numbers which i do not want. I am trying to add price numbers by just typing in the level numbers in the yellow boxes.
