    Good with Excel, can't be too much different. But if Griz has actually used it, then he would be the better resource.

    Maybe I can tag along on this thread? Got a problem with my worksheet not putting my formulas in when I enter data in a new row. I have set up other worksheets similar to this and haven't ran into this. The SB Paid and the VAR columns have formulas that are working right. But when I insert a new row above my Totals to enter new data the formulas don't work in the new row, and then also my SUM doesn't add my new total.
    I think I can post a screen shot
    Thanks

    For the totals, what is the formula in the cell? It should be =sum(O8:O9) if it's just =O8+O9, it won't automatically include the new line.

    For the VAR & SB, you'll probably have to drag down the formula. If you click on the cell above it, hover the pointer on the bottom right corner, a + should show up, click and drag down.

    Had the right formula for the totals. Basically what I want to do is to click on row 10 hit insert and be able to insert my data with the last 2 columns being calculated along with the totals without having to drag or copy the formulas. I have an A/R sheet that I set up that does it. I am sure I am just doing something stupid on this.:):):)

    I see my formula for my column SB PAID is
    =+D8+E8+F8+I8-H8 could this be the wrong structure?

    Instead of adding the row at the very end, try adding it between the two established rows. I always leave a few rows at the end, until the final draft, so adding rows is easier.

    No, if its calculating the right way, should be good.

    Instead of dragging it down, you could double-click on the "+" and it will fill down to the end of the column.

    All my experience is with excel, but I'd imagine they're the same.
