Excel Sum of from a cell to the RowAbove, or the next row above I got the idea and concept here: Three Ways to Reduce Errors In Your Excel SUM Formulas Essentially; what I wanted to do was prevent the Insert Row just above the total line to always include the row above. So after playing a bit I found the site above. So here is the process: In the workbook you want to have the sum click on any cell Depending on the version of Excel find where you name a range, for 2007 Formulas, Define Name A new name dialog box is displayed Make Name "RowAbove" Scope: Workbook Add a comment the next row up Delete the sheet name and enter in the row aboves address, in my case I clicked on =MySheet!$B$4, so I replace that with "=!B3" Then anywhere I want to add a sum or subtotal I just use sum(A3:RowAbove), then that will sum from A3 to the row above Now even if a insert row above on the formula it will add it the value to the sum.
Just some opinions and things I have committed to virtual prosperity just in case UGAF
