Adding a column and recalculate formula automatically
Is there anyway to have excel automatically add new column into a formula.
Example =B13-SUM(C13:M13) and I add in a new column it would be N13 my formula is located in O13. Is there something to make excel automatically pick this new cell up an add it to my formula? |

Adding a column and recalculate formula automatically
If you insert the new column within the range, eg a new column M, then
the formula will automatically adjust to include column N. Then use copy/paste to copy the whole of column N back into column M and then highlight column N and press the <delete key to empty all the cells - do not use cut/paste. Hope this helps.

Adding a column and recalculate formula automatically
Put your formula in P13.
Change the formula to =B13-SUM(C13:O13) Column O will remain blank. Add new column before column O and the new column will automatically be included in the formula. You cannot hide column O because then you will not be able to add a column before it. Make Column O real narrow to separate the data from the formula and to remind you to insert columns before it.

This creates a circular reference.

Adding a column and recalculate formula automatically
did you put the formula in P13 and delete the formula from O?
