I have 3 years worth of daily data in a spreadsheet. To "normalize" the data,
I am requred to add the first cell value to each of the subsequent cells.
=sumD4-D4 ---This will yield a zero starting point
=sumD5-D4
=SUMD6-D4
=SUMD7-D4
and on and on and on.

I need to subrtact D4 from hundreds of lines of data and there has top be a
better way than doing each one, line by line.

* In a free cell type the value of A4.
* Press CTRL+C for "copy"
* Select the 1095 cells RIGHT(!) click on one of them 'PasteSpecial'
mark 'SUBTRACT' 'O.K.'
That is all

As you can imagine, my previous suggestion will change ALL cell values in
Column. D
If you don't care to use an helper-column (E) then you may consider to type,
in cell E5, the formula: =D5-$D$4 and to copy it, down ,along the 1065 cells.
