having trouble applying this formula to a row instead of a column

Try this:
For values in Cell A1 through whatever

B1: =SUM(OFFSET(A1,COUNTA($A:$A)-5,0,5))
Returns the sum of the last 5 items in the list.

Does that help?

Using Excel 2003. New data is added to an exsisting worksheet on a daily
basis. I want my formulas to always apply to the last five cells of data
entered without having to manually update the ranges. For example: Today,
my range is A1:A5. Tomorrow, the range for the formula will be A2:A6. Is
there a way to automatically update the ranges after a new cell is entered?
Thank you!
