The answer is in the handy "indirect" function. So let's assume a1 has the ending row number, b is the row to sum (from b1) and c1 is where you want the formula to pop up. Then what you want in c1 is:

=sum(indirect("b1:b"&a1))

That is fantastic. Thank you!!

I wonder if it works the same in Calc. I will be finding out soon enough.


Yep.  The entire spreadsheet imports neatly into Calc and works perfectly.

Excel is just a touch faster than Calc. What I'm doing runs very fast but you can still tell the difference. The beauty of calc for this application is that anyone can run it for free on nearly any computer system (Windows, Linux, MacOS X, Solaris, FreeBSD).
