Automatic Totals
 

How do I arrange for the sum totals in the last line on a worksheet with
several columns of figures will automatically adjust itself when I enter an
additional line or lines of figures, so that I do not have to use the
totalling tool every time I make entries on the worksheet.

Make sure that the range summed contains one or more extra rows - then just
insert your new rows before the end of the range....

Hi

If you have XL2003, you can use DataListCreate list which will
automatically extend formulae as you add more rows to the list, with a
toggle to switch on or off the Totals at the bottom of the list.

For XL2007, an improved version exists with InsertTable.

Hi,

I tried it and it worked only when I included the additional lines in the
Sum but when I added another line after that your suggestion did not work.
So, what did I do wrong?
Incidentally this is on Office 2000.

If you sum (say) A1:A35, but your actual data is A1:A25 and you insert a row
at A26, then the sum should still work.

Automatic Totals
 

With, as an example, data in B2:B14 and this formula in B15

=SUM(B2:OFFSET(B15,-1,0))

If you select Row 15, (the one with the formula), or any row above it and
insert a new row the formula will adjust to accommodate the new row.

Assuming your current data is in A1:A10

Enter this in A11

=SUM(A1:INDEX(A:A,ROW()-1))

As you insert rows above A11 it will include the new rows.

Just to make it absolutely sure I have the formula right. My entries in
Col.C are up to line 79, so my formula to enter in Col.C line 80 should
read -

=SUM (C1:INDEX(C:C,ROW()-1)) Am I correct?

Yes, the formula would be entered into C80


BTW............get rid of the <space after =SUM

Your formula works fine! Thank you and thank you also to all others who
contributed to my posting.
