I want to define a range using values in two cells. Let's say cell B40
contains information about the cell at which the range should start (it
says
for example: cell B101) and cell B56 contains information about the cell
at
which the range should stop (it says for example: cell B256). Now I want
to
count specific values within this range. Can I define the range using the
information in cell B40 and cell B56 with a formula? I hope anyone can
help
me, it would save me a lot of work.
