In Excel there is an autosum function. When you are in an empty cell below a
range of data this function puts the sum of the range above into the empty
cell.
I was wondering if it is possible to adapt this function so that, instead of
a sum, it calculates a different statistical value like average, number,
stdev?
My idea would be an extra button in the toolbar with auto... which opens a
checkbox menu from which you can choose the statistical function (sum, stdev,
average etc) that should apply to the range.
