Default Auto Fill formula when inserting a new line

I had someone show me this and I do not know how to set it up to work
like we saw. If I have a column of data and a formula in the column
next to when he inserted a new row at the end of the formulas, the new
row would contain a copy of the formula incremented from the row
above. Just like clicking on the box in the lower right hand corner of
a cell and dragging it down.
I am always inserting new lines and have to continually go out and
drag my formulas down to the new row.
There are now macros running, I am on XP and Excel 2007

Thanks
Scott

I seem to recall that being an option when setting up a "list" in
xl2003. Anyone know if that functionality carried over into 2007 when
they changed "lists" to "tables" ??

Although, as I recall, that did not occur when inserting a new row into
the table, only when extending the list by entering new data into the
empty row below the list.

This will happen if you 'Insert Copied Cells' after copying a blank row
that contains the formulas you want to continue. If the cell refs used
in the formulas are row-relative then the copied row will increment
those refs automatically.

You could have the formulas in row 1 (hide if desired) and have them
copied to the new row as desired by clicking a macro button or with a
worksheet_change event. Or, a macro can input the formulas or even do
the work and leave the values, if desired.
