Here are four functions. Add a module to your workbook and paste these into the module. You can then use them in your worksheet as you would with built-in functions. Just type in =sumOddRows(A1:A47) or whatever. The main issue with user functions is that occasionally you have to make them recalculate manually by selecting them and pressing F9. They are OK if you change the referenced cells manually but there is an issue if the referenced cells are changed by code. [code] Option Explicit Function sumOddRows(r As Range) Dim c As Range Dim T As Double For Each c In r If c.Row Mod 2 = 1 Then T = T + c.Value End If Next c sumOddRows = T End Function Function sumEvenRows(r As Range) Dim c As Range Dim T As Double For Each c In r If c.Row Mod 2 = 0 Then T = T + c.Value End If Next c sumOddRows = T End Function Function sumOddCols(r As Range) Dim c As Range Dim T As Double For Each c In r If c.Column Mod 2 = 1 Then T = T + c.Value End If Next c sumOddRows = T End Function Function sumEvenCols(r As Range) Dim c As Range Dim T As Double For Each c In r If c.Column Mod 2 = 0 Then T = T + c.Value End If Next c sumOddRows = T End Function [/code] Best regards David Grugeon M-0429 029 836 P-(07)3263 7786 > -----Original Message----- > From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On > Behalf Of PrIyAnKa > Sent: Monday, 29 November 2010 9:41 PM > To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [mso] Sum of Alternate Raw & Columns > > Dear Team > Kidnly help me as I m trying to making sum of alternate raws & columns, > > KIndly help me for some easy formula as =NPV(.................) becomes heavy > > E.G. sum of A1+C1+E1+G1 (Alternate Columns) > sum of A1+A3+A5+A7 (Altername Raws) > > REgards > PRiyanka > > > ********************************************************** > *** > You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or > MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > > To Unsubscribe from this group, visit the group's homepage and use the > dropdown menu at the top.
