Question on index
"Paul B" <ToMuchSpam[ at ]nospam.com> 12/31/2008 6:08:42 PM
How does this sum sheet1 A1 to the last thing in column A without putting a
number or foumula in D1? =SUM(Sheet1!A1:INDEX(Sheet1!A:A,$D$1))



I have use this in D1, =MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,Sheet1!A:A)

, before to use this kind of formula but today I put the formula in without
anything in D1 and it looks like it works????



Is this the best way to do this??



Thanks, using excel 2003

Start here:

From XL Help ("INDEX"):

If you set row_num or column_num to 0 (zero),
INDEX returns the reference for the entire column
or row, respectively
