Maintaining Formula after adding a new row
I have a formula that adds data in a column. =SUM(A5:A10). The problem is that every time I copy a new row and insert it at row 5, my formula changes to =SUM(*A6*:A10). I just want it to stay the same. I've tried using an absolute value $A$5, but it still changes when a new row is added. I've tried using a named reference as well as locking, but my merged cells caused some problems with the lock. -- shaught ------------------------------------------------------------------------ shaught's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30802 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=504625 |

Maintaining Formula after adding a new row
Funny, I get:
=SUM(A6:A11) Nevertheless, try this: =SUM(INDIRECT("A5:A10")) -- HTH, RD ============================================== Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit! ============================================== "shaught" wrote in message ...
