I need to sum a column of numbers that always begins at H10 but the last row will vary based on an unknown number of data entries. After I get the total I need to divide by 51 to get the percentage I need.

I have some code that is working on my MacBook, but when I take it to Windows it isn’t working. I’m sorry, I don’t have that code handy. My MacBook runs Excel 365 and the PC runs Excel 2016.
 

Excel Facts

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
Excel Formula:
=SUM(INDIRECT("H10:H" &ROWS(A:A)))/51

Excel Formula:
=SUM(INDIRECT("H10:H" &ROWS(A:A)))/51
Thank you for the quick response. Can you explain what row(a:a) does? Will that find the last row with contents after row 10 in column H?

Also, that doesn’t look like vba. It looks like a sum in excel?

ROWS(A:A) just returns the total number of rows in Column A. Older versions of Excel had 65536 and newer versions have 1048576.

You could replace that with a number larger than you would ever need if you want.
=SUM(H10:H65000)/51

I don't have a Mac but in PC VBA something like this?

VBA Code:
Range("J1") = Application.WorksheetFunction.Sum(Range("H10:H" & Rows.Count)) / 51

That looks a lot like what I have which is working on my Mac but not at work where I use a PC. It’s a little different so I’ll try this on Sunday when I’m back at work. Thank you for your ideas. I will let you know what I find.

Perhaps.
Excel Formula:
=SUM(A:A)-SUM(A1:A9)

Forgot the division by 51 above.
Excel Formula:
=(SUM(A:A)-SUM(A1:A9))/51

This is exactly what I needed! Thank you so much!
