Calculate all rows above by the OFFSET function

There is a formula that can automatically sum all rows above the sum cell without choose the range.

Type this formula

=VLOOKUP("HR",TRIM($B$3:$C$6),2,0)=SUM(OFFSET(B1,,,ROW()-1,1))

In the cell that you want to sum all rows above, press Enter key.

B1 is the first cell of the column you want to sum up the rows.

Then you can drag the fill handle over the cells that need this formula.

Note: you can change SUM to other calculation as you need, for instance, average all rows above, use the formula

=AVERAGE(OFFSET(B1,,,ROW()-1,1))
