Hi

In column I have:
a
b
c
d

In cell on bottom I want to be "abcd".

when I insert a row with char "s":
a
b
s
c
d
on bottom I want to be "abscd" without change in formula (as =sum(A1:A5)
for number).

Any idea

do it with a UDF:

Function myChars(myRange As Range) As String
Dim rngC As Range
For Each rngC In myRange
myChars = myChars & rngC
Next
End Function

Call this UDF in the sheet with:
=myChars(A1:A4)

It's work
Thanks
 
Select A5 and define a local scope name as follws...

Name: 'sheet1'!LastCell
RefersTo: A4

...where 'sheet1' is the name of the sheet the name is defined on. Note
there are no $ symbols in the RefersTo value. This makes the ref fully
relative to the cell formula using the name.

Now you can use it like so...

=SUM($a$1:LastCell)

Note that using local scope (sheet level) allows reusing the name on
other sheets without conflict!

Claus,
I didn't see your reply in the other forum the OP cross-posted to, so I
answered it there!

one of us is misunderstanding the OP. I thought he wants a string as
result.

My misunderstanding! You are correct...

Note that my suggestion only works for numeric value. What you are
trying to do isn't a SUM function, which is what I focussed on. It's
actually a CONCATENATE function. Claus's suggestion of using a UDF is
the way to go in this case...

=myChars($A$1:LastCell)

...so the result auto-updates after insert/delete values from A1 to the
cell above the formula cell.

To include insert/delete at A1, omit the $ symbols in the formula!

hi alpha,

=fConcatenate($A$1:$A$4)

Function fConcatenate(rng As Range) As String
Dim c As Range
For Each c In rng
fConcatenate = fConcatenate & c.Value
Next
End Function
