I have a master sheet calculating for certain criteria on another sheet.
As new data is added to the "other sheet" (it is being inserted each time at
row 3)the formula on the master sheet changes to start array at row 4... next
time row 5... etc. So it does not include new data added in the formula.
How can i lock this down to not move with each data entry?

You can use a hidden row as the first row and start your sum formula after.

Try absolute row references in your formulae

eg if your formula refers to C3 change it to C$3 and so on...ofcourse it
will increase your effort in updating the formula.

I am sure someone else will come up with an easier and better solution.
