Yes, simply change the formula in column A to
=SUM($B1:$M1)
that'll keep the column references from changing even when you insert the
new column B.

I would like to create a formula in Col A that would go out 12 columns (B -
M) and then be able to insert a new column B and have the formula remain
=Sum(B1:M1) and not change to =Sum(C1:N1). Is that possible?
