    Excel ?


    I'm trying to learn how to setup a spreadsheet in Excel and need a little help. This is my first attempt at making a spreadsheet. In this example how do I setup this spreadsheet so that I can keep a running total of columns C,D and E in column F if I keep adding new lines. If I'm doing it wrong any suggestions are welcome.

    Hi Winuser,

    One suggestion, move the Total cell to the left so that it is beneath the Sub Total column. When you insert a new row (in your example you would be inserting at row 5) and then add your new numbers they will automatically be added in to the Total.

    Cheers,
    Phil

    Oops, just checked. It is required to move the total to the left under the subtotal column. Also, the equation for the sum should be:

    =sum(E2:E4)

    The colon means sum everything from E2 to E4. When you add lines before the total line, the E4 should increase automatically to reflect the added lines.

    Thanks, I think I got it now. I'll play around with it some more and try different formulas so I can learn more about making spreadsheets.

    I've been playing around with my example spreadsheet and have it pretty much working the way I want. Thanks again for the help. I do have one more question though. Is there any way to have new entries auto fill? Right now I'm using copy and paste to enter new lines.
