Does not add up properly
 

Hi
I have a spreadsheet with app 800 names sorted in alphabetical order.
To the right of the names I have a few col on numbers. At the bottom of each
col I have a calculated total for that col(i.e. @SUM (c2...c800)
From time to time I have to add new names.
I usually type in the names below the 800 line and then do a sort on the
names. At this stage the name is inserted in the proper place BUT MY COL
TOTAL are no longer accurate. The formula at the bottom now read(as an
example) @sum(c12...c800)
How can I stop this from happening.
Thanks

In C801, insert

=SUM($C$2:OFFSET(C801,-1,))

just insert new lines before line 801
