variable cell references ????
I would like to know if there is any functionality available to do the following: I would like to calculate a running figure based on a different cell reference as they are populated. I would like to accomplish this by using the COUNT function to count the number of references in a single column that contain a number, if it does capture that number the COUNT value and use it as such (place in cell A20) ---- $A1-B(COUNT $B1:$B20) This way all cells are blank in the B column, but as soon as a value appears in B1 then B2 then B3, the formula above would recalc the output cell. I hope this makes sense. Is there away to accomplish this logic in Excel? thank you in advance -- kiethb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kiethb's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=31425 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=511181 |

Use the INDIRECT function. E..g,
=$A1-INDIRECT("B"&COUNT($B1:$B20)) -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "kiethb" wrote in message ...
