hardcode a column in a formula

[AHizon via OfficeKB.com]

How do I hardcode a column in a formula? Currently I have the following but
I'd like want to modify the sum formula so that it sums the cells above minus
cell=C2, because 1st row is Headers? Is there any way to hard code the 2nd
part so that it's always subtracting from C2 and no other cells? I'd like it
so that it's always Column = C and Row = 2 that it subtracts from because the
number of columns changes in between column C and the last column depending
on the sheet.
lCol = Cells.Find(What:="*", After:=[A1], _
SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Column
With Cells(Rows.Count, lCol).End(xlUp)
.Offset(1, 0).FormulaR1C1 = _
"=SUM(R[-" & .Row - 1 & "]C:R[-1]C)-R[-" & .Row - 1 & "]C[-8]"
I would like to change C[-8] to be always Column C and not 8 columns to the
left of the cell with the formula. Any assistance would be appreciated.

AHizon,

With Cells(Rows.Count, lCol).End(xlUp)
.Offset(1, 0).Formula = _
"=SUM(" & Range(Cells(2, lCol), .Cells(1, 1)).Address & ") - C2"
End With
