    SUM on varying number of cells in VBA

    I am writing sum of few cells from the row above, to a single cell and then merging the cells
    I need to achieve this in vba but the problem is that the number of columns I need to use in the SUM formula can change month by month, though I know how many columns are there in each month (See attached excel) and I am using A1 style to write formula in my code. I couldn't find any way to write formula in vba in such a way that you can change column name to variable (so that first sum covers C2 - C6, second covers C7 - C10 etc.).
    Any help will be highly appreciated.

    Re: SUM on varying number of cells in VBA

    Thanks HaHoBe. This has worked perfectly with the example I posted. Now when I am trying to further expand it to use SUMPRODUCT with more conditions added, it's failing (And I think that is because I am trying to mix styles of writing formulas). Would you be able to look at it please ? Attached is the excel with final fomula that I am trying to print and below is theexcerpt of the overall code I have written. The additional formula is highlighted in maroon color which seems to be giving problem -

    Do While ActiveCell.Value <> ""
    Set rngMerged = ActiveCell.MergeArea
    If rngMerged.Cells.Count > 0 Then
    Cells(lngLast + 1, rngMerged.Cells(1).Column).Formula = "=SUMPRODUCT(" & Cells(3, rngMerged.Cells(1).Column).Address(0, 0) & ":" & _
    Cells(lngLast - 1, rngMerged.Cells(rngMerged.Cells.Count).Column).Address(0, 0) & ")*($A$3:$A$" & n & "=""RP1"")*($C$3:$C$" & n & "=""" & RP(i, 1) & """))"
    End If
    ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
    Loop
    '''' ---- RP(i,1) will contain names (in the excel "Central Team", "BBB", etc.)

    Hi, mathmani,

    variables n and i are not declared, and Iīm afraid I donīt see how you want these to be combined as only one formula was inserted which doesnīt cover the whole range build in the left 3 columns but is one short on rows.

    Ciao,

    Re: SUM on varying number of cells in VBA

    variables i and n are defined at start of the code and when the flow enters above code for first time, value of m and n are 25 and 23 respectively. As I had mentioned above written code was only an extract. I don't want to cover the last row of the data, and the excel which I had uploaded was also a sample. If I can summarise the requirement, I would want to use SUMPRODUCT function for each combination of values in Column A and Column C. This SUMPRODUCT will be used for all weeks under a month and need to be repeated for all months and as you can see number of weeks in a month can change. does it clarify ?

    Re: SUM on varying number of cells in VBA

    Hi, mathmani,

    wouldnīit be a great idea to share all the code you have so far and not only a sniplet which canīt work due to a missing opening bracket (check the formula inserted manually where 2 opening brackets appear against the code) and only one item in a list referred to?

    Maybe you can use the approach like this:
