    Looking for a way to sum a column with variable length

    Hi All,

    I am looking for a way to sum a column with variable length. I cannot use (xlUp) because there is other data in cells in this column below the range that I need summed.The range will always start in cell "AA8". So far I have the following code:

    I am not sure how to make this dynamic so that it will sum every cell in column "AA" down to the last cell before the first blank, and then, in that first blank, place the sum of the preceding cells.

    Thank you.

    Re: Looking for a way to sum a column with variable length

    Welcome to the forum.

    I really am sorry but:-
    I wish I could insert the code tags for you but I cannot.

    We would very much like to help you with your query, however you need to include code tags around your code.

    Please take a moment to add the tags. Posting code between tags makes your code much easier to read and copy for testing, and it also maintains VBA formatting.

    Please see Forum Rule #2 about code tags and adjust accordingly. Click on Edit to open your post, then highlight your code and click the # icon at the top of your post window. More information about these and other tags can be found here

    (Note: this change is not optional. No help to be offered until this moderation request has been fulfilled.)
    My General Rules if you want my help. Not aimed at any person in particular:

    1. Please Make Requests not demands, none of us get paid here.

    2. Check back on your post regularly. I will not return to a post after 4 days.
    If it is not important to you then it definitely is not important to me.

    Re: Looking for a way to sum a column with variable length

    I think this is on the right track, but when I run this code, every cell in every column below row 8 is populated with "5045135759.03074." Am I missing something? I am somewhat new to VBA.

    Re: Looking for a way to sum a column with variable length

    Did you try the code in post#2? If so:

    Welcome to the forum

    Please attach a sample workbook (not a picture or pasted copy). Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.
