I have a formula in cell c1 which adds all totals in b5 to b500.
At times I will be deleting rows in the b column.
How can I get the formula in c1 to ALWAYS add b5 to b500 even if I delete rows?

Thanking you in advance.

I tried that, but as I delete rows it still changes to 499, 498, 497, 496 etc. I really thought the $'s would do it too, but no such luck.

Use this:

=SUM(INDIRECT("B5:B500"))
