Excel Define a range based on a cell value

0 votes
Is it possible to set a range's parameters based on a cell's value?

As an illustration, my choice is A1:A5. That's five cells, then. Can Excel make this determination by setting a cell value (say B1) to 5?

With just one modification in a cell value, it is designed to quickly change a large number of ranges. Thus, if I were to set cell value (B1) to 6, A1:A6 would be the new default range.

To be more precise, I want to do it the other way around.

Let's say that cells A1, A2, A3, A4, and A5 all contain the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 5, respectively. We compute the total of A1:Ax in cell A7. In cell B1, x is mentioned (in this case, x can be any number from 1 to 6). You can enter the formula below in cell A7:

=SUM(A1:INDIRECT(CONCATENATE("A",B1)))

CONCATENATE will give you the index of the cell Ax(if you put 3 in B1, CONCATENATE("A",B1)) gives A3).

INDIRECT convert "A3" to an index.
