Default Infinite sum formula

wrote...
....
Basically, I would like two cells in each row to add together to
obtain a total for that row. For example: F6+G6=H6, F7+G7=H7,
F8+G8=H8, etc. However, I would like the formula to continue on
infinitely, no matter how many rows my worksheet will contain.

....

You could select H6:H65536, type

=IF(COUNT(F6,G6,F6+G6)1,F6+G6,"")

hold down a [Ctrl] key and press [Enter] to fill this formula into
H6:H65536, but this would be grossly wasteful of your computer's
resources. The alternative would be to use a Change event handler that
fills the formula (R1C1-style)

=RC[-2]+RC[-1]

in column H for every row in which column F or G contains a number and
their sum evaluates to a number. Do you want to use VBA?
