"if" formula to sum several cells...

[Guest]

Hi all,

I need to sum some consecutive cells in a row, depending on a number in
another cell.

For instance:
If the cell contains 2 >> sum A1 + B1
If the cell contains 3 >> sum A1 + B1 + C1
If the cell contains 4 >> sum A1 + B1 + C1 + D1
and so on ...

is there a function to do that or vba code needs to be written?

any help will be very much appreciated.

Thanks!

Suppose the cell that is supposed to conain 2 or 3 or 4 is A3, then use
formula:

=SUM(A1:OFFSET(A1,0,A3-1))

With the cell of reference being C1, try this:

=SUM(A1:INDEX(A:A,C1))
