MS Office Forum / Excel / Worksheet Functions / October 2007Excluding only leading or trailing cells from a column
I have a column, say A, that I want to SUM(). I want to avoid including A1:A3 in this sum - unfortunately, the length of the data in the column at any time is indeterminate. So I can't SUM(A4:AX)... And I can't SUM(A4:A), although that seems intuitive to me. Help? Would =SUM(A:A)-SUM(A1:A3) work? best wishes  SignatureBernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email >I have a column, say A, that I want to SUM().

That's precisely what I need to do.

Sorry, I guess the title was a bit misleading. The "or trailing" part was simply tacked on because I initially thought the solution would probably be similar whether the cells to be excluded were leading or trailing - now that I think about it, if I needed to exclude trailing cells, I would already know the length of the data column, and I could just use SUM(A1:AX). > >Re: Excluding only leading or trailing cells from a column > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > > > Help?
