    Automatically adding extra cell

    Hi All

    I have a formula issue. I will give an example of what I want to do

    Say I have 59 in A1,B1,C1,D1 and so on

    In A2 I have put =SUM(A1), now in B2 i want it to be =SUM(A1+B1). That bits simple. But for C2 I would want it to add A1,B1 and C1.

    How could I do this so I just have to put the formula in B1 then drag it accross the rest of the row?

    Regards

    Aarron

    Hi Stenner,

    Enter this in A2:

    Formula: copy to clipboard

    Then drag across. FYI to automatically enter the dollar sign, press F4 in the formula bar!

    Hi Ford

    Unfortunatly it didnt work.

    Cell C2 would need to be A1:B1:C1 but it just says A1:C1.

    No, it is working correctly - try it.

    the syntax A1:B1:C1 is incorrect, it just needs the 1st and last cell ref, the one's in the middle dont need to be shown.

    I think you are missunderstanding the use of a colon in excel.

    To sum ONLY A1 & C1 you would use the following:
