Formula Help
How do I make a formula automatically pick cells that are not in columns
accordingly whenever new columns are inserted. E.G 1. Lets assume Col A,B,C is January and E,F,G is February 1 Col A B C E F G H 2 Books Pencil Total Books Pencil Total Grand Total 3 50 10 60 29 11 40 =g3+e3 (100) Whenever I insert new column (e.g for March) it doesn't automatically affect my grand total, I have to constantly go through the cells to add the new Total for march into the grand total. Is there a way (formula) to allow automatic summing of new grand total once new column for each month are inserted. All help and support totally appreciated. If I have Col A B C Total 1 5 14 20 whenever I insert new column e.g column D with Value 20, this automatically adds the new value to the total to make 40 but does not for columns not in order like E.G 1 above. Can anyone help with the formula to help achieve this? |

Formula Help
Hi,
One method is to leave a blank column directly before the Grand total column, in this case column H, moving the Grand Total over to column I. Now change the formula in I2 to read =SUM(A2:H2) copy this down When you get new data select the blank column and insert as many columns as you need, always leaving a blank column. The formula will automatically adjust. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button Cheers, Shane Devenshire "Yossy" wrote: How do I make a formula automatically pick cells that are not in columns accordingly whenever new columns are inserted.

I have to suggest you change your layout to standard table format. 1 Month Books Pencils Total Grand Total 2 Jan____50____10____60____60 3 Feb____29____11____40____100 4 Mar____25____25____50____150 Now your totals can simply be a formula: E3 =E2+D3 That formula copies down and requires no stress. -- JBeaucaire ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JBeaucaire's Profile: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/member.php?userid=73 View this thread: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/sh...ad.php?t=46116 |

Formula Help
I am aware of this formula and if u read my question all the way I said the
solution you profer is not helping. My question relates to columns that are NOT from A2:H2 but Picking column cells in between multiple column cells and Adding them as new columns are added E.G. C3 to G3 and so on as new columns are added. If you can help I would be totally appreciative.

Your need to duplicate columns in a non-standard way MEANS that you will have to maintain your sheet manually. If you don't want to do that, use the standard table format I suggested above, or go ahead and setup your entire sheet for one year now so you can create the Grand Total formula one time with all 12 needed "total" columns included. -- JBeaucaire ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JBeaucaire's Profile: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/member.php?userid=73 View this thread: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/sh...ad.php?t=46116 |
