Here's my answer: =SUM(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(),8) & ":" & ADDRESS(ROW(),MATCH($D$1,$H$1:$Z$1)+7))) Here's my logic: You want to use the =SUM() function to calculate the total for the current row from column H1 through the column described in D1. For Jun-12, the SUM() function would look like: =SUM(H2:M2) or =SUM($H$2:$M$2) To get this, we need to "build" the string: $H$2:$M$2 For "$H$2", you can use the ADDRESS() function. The syntax is: ADDRESS(row,column) the column number for "H" is 8, but you don't want to use row (2) all of the time, you want the CURRENT row. for that, you can use: ROW() so, for "$H$2", you use: ADDRESS(ROW(),8) To get "$M$2", you need to find the column for the matching date. For that, use MATCH() =MATCH($D$1,$H$1:$Z$1) would result in (6) But, this is 6 columns from the Jan-12 column (H), which is in column 8 So, to get the absolute (actual) column number, you need to add 7. Which gives: =MATCH($D$1,$H$1:$Z$1)+7 which, for "Jun-12" is (13). using this in the ADDRESS(), function: the syntax is: =ADDRESS(row,column) you get: =ADDRESS(ROW(),MATCH($D$1,$H$1:$Z$1)+7) ------------------------------------------- which, for row 2 results in: "$M$2" making this into a string that represents a "range" needs the ":" between, so you end up with: ADDRESS(ROW(),8) & ":" & ADDRESS(ROW(),MATCH($D$1,$H$1:$Z$1)+7) The problem is, this is a STRING. the SUM() function wants a RANGE. There is a function that "interprets" a string as a Range. The function is INDIRECT() So, now you have: =INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(),8) & ":" & ADDRESS(ROW(),MATCH($D$1,$H$1:$Z$1)+7)) Last, put this into a SUM() function, and you get: =SUM(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(),8) & ":" & ADDRESS(ROW(),MATCH($D$1,$H$1:$Z$1)+7))) Paul ----------------------------------------- “Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can.” - John Wesley -----------------------------------------
