I'm not quite sure what you mean, but I think you'll have to revisit your
formulas so that each of them avoid the columns you want ignored. mrasker wrote: I am working with spread sheets that extend rows through several years of monthly calculations.

ignore values in a column
Thank you for trying to help...
Let me give an easy example: If I were to fill a ROW of 10 cells each with the number 2 and have cell 11 calculate TOTAL (=SUM(A1:A10)) the result would of course be 20. Now if I want to insert a cell in column 5 to calculate the SUM of cells to the left (=SUM(A1:A5)) the result would be 8. How can I insert this cell at column 5 without effecting the value of Cell 11 (now cell 12 after the insert) "Dave Peterson" wrote: I'm not quite sure what you mean, but I think you'll have to revisit your formulas so that each of them avoid the columns you want ignored. mrasker wrote: I am working with spread sheets that extend rows through several years of monthly calculations.

I don't understand. Maybe using real addresses would make it easier to explain.

Thanks again Dave... I believe your first response was the one I should have
accepted. I know now that an after-the-fact insertion won't work for me and I will re-structure my spreadsheet to do what i want..... Gary "Dave Peterson" wrote: I don't understand.
