Help with Formulas Please
I have never asked a question here before so I hope I phrase everything
correctly. I have created a teacher grade workbook. I cant seem to get my formula in cell B3 to update when I ad a column to include additional test score. B3 is my counter used when I average the sum of the test scores. (see below) If I insert a column K the counter does not update. Why? What formula should I be using? =COUNT(C3:J3) When I average a cell I use the following formula which does not update either when I insert a column to add another test score. J3 should read K3 when I insert a column. What formula should I be using? =SUM(C3:J3)/$B$3 Here is the formula I use when I want to see a letter grade for the averages. When I insert a column the reference K3 should read L3 (this is the column I have my averages of all the tests showing). How do I get the formula to update? Is there a better formula I should be using? =IF(K3=93.5,"A",IF(K386.5,"B",IF(K378.5,"C",IF( K369.5,"D","F")))) Thanks, -- David |

If you add a column in the middle of the range you are using, it will update.
If it's outside of the range, it won't. You *may* need to use a dynamic range for this. I have several questions: Does the left bound of the range always start at the same place. Is there anything in the workbook to the right of the right bound? Let us know. Barb Reinhardt "David" wrote: I have never asked a question here before so I hope I phrase everything correctly.

Barb,
If I understand your question correctly, yes the left 'bound' always starts in the same place, column C (test 1). Yes, there are 2 columns to the right of the right 'bound' or the last test grade added. The two (2) columns have a) the number average and b) the letter equivalent. -- David "Barb Reinhardt" wrote: If you add a column in the middle of the range you are using, it will update.

=COUNT(C3:IV3)
however if you insert a column to the left of the last cell (assume you used C3:J3, if you select column J and do insertcolumns) it will update but obviously not if you do it to the right -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "David" wrote in message ...
