adding new rows and keeping same formulas
 
Hi,

I'm wondering if it's possible in any way to keep my formulas when i
add new rows because I hate writing in the same formulas over and over
and over. Thanks a bunch.

adding new rows and keeping same formulas
 
Can you give an example of what you are talking about? If you want formulas
to always point to certain rows or columns you can use absolute cell
addresses rather than cell A2 you would put $A$2 and it will always point to
the contents of that cell no matter what rows are added.

if you add new rows the formulas will move to allow for them,,, unless you
mean having the formula in your new row if thats the case jusr copy and
paste formula from row above into new row

Formulas can typically be copied down. For example, if you have in C1
the following formula:

=A1*B1

then you can copy it down and the cell references will change. For
example, in C5, it will automatically become

=A5*B5

If such is the nature of your formula, then you can fearlessly insert
rows and then simply copy the existing formulas along the entire
column.
