How do I sum using relative cell positions?
I want to set up a formula that calculates a sum based on the data in the 12
columns to the left of the calculation cell. Something like: SUM(RC[-12]:RC[-1]), *but* if I insert a column to the left, I don't want the reference to be adjusted to SUM(RC[-13]:RC[-2]). Probably a simple answer, but I'm stumped. Thanks,

DavidB,
Try using the INDIRECT worksheet function to "freeze" the columns . . . something like: =SUM(INDIRECT("A1:L1")) ---- Regards, John Mansfield http://www.pdbook.com "DavidB" wrote: I want to set up a formula that calculates a sum based on the data in the 12 columns to the left of the calculation cell.
