Default Custom Functions are static?

Hi all,

Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this and help a newbie
to the world of expanded worksheets (beats moving to D and
manipulating in ASP, but you gotta do what your three brain cells will
allow).

Here is my problem:

1 2 3
A 1 1 1
B 1 1 1
C 1 1 1



Super simplified, but that's my tst worksheet.

I have a custom function something along the lines of:

function doSum(x,y)
...add the 3-d matrix
....return the total
end function

So I call doSum(1,3) and get the good answer of 9 somewhere near the
bottom of the sheet.

Now, with a native function, if I changed A-1 to 3, the "9" would
automatically update to 12

That ain't happenin' on my custom functions. To update, I have to
delete and then re-paste all the function calls.

Like I mentioned before, I have three brain cells to dedicate to this
stuff, but have found a gazliion uses for custom functions (text,
offsets, lists, etc) -- but they go from gold to steaming crap if I
have to leave the sheet static or re-do EVERYTHING.

Even if I INSERT a column, the custom functions go to #ERROR rather
than reconfiguring for the inserted column.

Man, my EUREKA hours have gone to seed, and I would sure appreciate
any assistance anyone can provide.

BTW, I am assuming I am poting ot the ocrrect forum, if custom
functions are not considered programming, I apologize for being
off-topic.

thanks again for your time and any information you can provide.
