Referencing whole row number range by Formula result

[bukimi]

Hello!

I'm writing a complex formula that starts with AVERAGEIFS. It counts average in specified row number for a number of conditions, but that row number is dynamic. How to make it work?

Simple example:

=SUM(5:5)

gives sum of everything in row 5.

=MATCH(111008;A:A;0)

shows me the position of "111008" product number in column A, which is 5.

=SUM(MATCH(111008;A:A;0):MATCH(111008;A:A;0))

is wrong. I tried to add some "" here and there, but can't make it work equivalent to =SUM(5:5) formula.

Finally, I'd like to replace 111008 with cell reference too, but the principle of referencing whole row number is what I can't get right.

There is no issue with MATCH, but you will need to use it with INDEX. Don't forget the last comma in the INDEX function, as that tells the function to use all of the columns in the row.
Edit: Probably better to limit the INDEX reference to include only the range needed for subsequent operations:
