    referencing own cell

    I'm trying to do something along the lines of:

    SUM($A$1:'CURRENT CELL')

    I dont want to just define it as A2, A3, etc. because its linked to another sheet

    Is there a formula that returns the current cell?

    That would be a circular reference if the range the cell was summing included itself, right?

    oops sorry I meant something along the lines of:

    SUM($A$1:OFFSET(CURRENTCELL,a,b,))

    how would you identify the current cell?

    I use a defined name. Select cell A1 and define Me refers to =A1 (no dollar signs)

    =SUM($A$1:OFFSET(Me, a, b))
