excel understand that you would like to sum all above figures and "edit" the
formula automatic.

re-type it as you need

Greetings from Norfolk

This may be a silly question!
I set up SUM(D5:D10) and put the result in D15.
When trying out the sheet I made entries (numeric) in D5, D6...D10 all OK.
I then made entries in D11, D12, D13 and D14; The formulae in D15 modified
itself (!!??) to include these values in the Summation. i.e. the answer was
progressively D5 to D10, D5 to D11, D5 to D12 etc.
Can anybody explain and assist in preventing this occuring again. Ilooked
through the various settings for Excel, but could not find any that appear
relevant !
