Default Selecting a cell for fill-in by previous cells

Try this worsheet event macro:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Set r = Range("B:D")
If Intersect(Target, r) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target.Value = Cells(Target.Row, "A").Value
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub


Because it is worksheet code, it is very easy to install and use:

1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the window
2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window

If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.

To remove the macro:

1. bring up the VBE windows as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window

I have values entered into a column. In the next columns over I'd like to be
able to simply enter X or another marking value so that the numbers from that
row carry over without me having to enter in the number every time I want to
use it.

Example:
A B C D
1 X X
2 X X
3 X X X
4 X

So that either the X's turn into the numbers from column A or when I sum the
values at the bottom of columns B, C, and D they add up to 6, 5, and 8
respectively. Any help?
