    Excel 2010 Formula - adding in a new row and experiencing formatting issues

    Hi Everyone,

    I am stuck in my spreadsheet and need some assistance. Basically i have a document that is multiple sheets with the first sheet being a summary of all sheets. How i need the sheet to work is as follows, when i enter a new row (above the previous first row or previous row 2):

    Row 2 (New row): =Sheetname!B228+Sheetname!D228
    Row 3: =Sheetname!B227+Sheetname!D227
    Row 4: =Sheetname!B226+Sheetname!D226

    BUT

    The sheet automatically formats with:

    Row 2 (New row): =Sheetname!B226+Sheetname!D226
    Row 3: =Sheetname!B227+Sheetname!D227
    Row 4: =Sheetname!B228+Sheetname!D228

    I need a formula to fix the automatic change to be in actual order so any new rows are calculated in backwards order. Can anybody help please?

    Thanks in advance.

    A picture may be worth a thousand words, BUT, a sample Workbook is worth a thousand screenshots!

    Thanks dredwolf. The title has been updated as per your comments. I wasn't aware of this. Thanks again.

    Unfortunately, the auto increment feature does not work in this instance, so you need to implement it within the formula itself, probably something like this:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    (not tested, but the theory is correct)

    Hope this helps

    EDIT -
    And I am glad I could point you in the right way about the Title rules as well

    Re: Excel 2010 Formula - adding in a new row and experiencing formatting issues

    Hi again. This worked for the new row BUT the ongoing issue i seem to be having is this is a live document with row 2 being a new row that is inserted each week, with values from the previous week(s). This forumla doesnt appear to carry on following a 'copy/paste' for the next weeks row. Any other ideas? This has me stumped!

    Re: Excel 2010 Formula - adding in a new row and experiencing formatting issues

    okay, so the data being looked at is in a different sheet than the data being updated?( I'm guessing that from the use of 'sheetname!range")
    then maybe this:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    I obviously have not tested this again, as I have nothing to test against, so the +1 may have to be +2 or may be unnecessary, not truly sure, but I am not going to try to recreate this workbook, sorry

    Hi again. I have attached a dummy mock up of the issue i am having. Neither of the formulas advised have worked yet. Is there any chance you can have a play with the attachment and see what you can come up with? Thank you for your suggestions so far as well.

    I'm afraid you have completely lost me now...
    which sheet gets the inserted row 2?
    what is the auto default to d4 for?

    Maybe a hand figure before/after for one instance would help, but I'm lost at the moment

    Re: Excel 2010 Formula - adding in a new row and experiencing formatting issues

    The values from the new row in Sheet 2 are required in sheet 1, location C2 each week.

    eg. data for the week would be entered as a new line on Sheet 2 (Test2 sheet in attachment). Current week in attachment is row 6, therfore new weeks data will be entered on row 7. This process is repeated each week.

    When i copy the formula from the current row 2 on Sheet 1 (Test1 in the attachment) and insert a new row in Sheet 1 (old row 2 becomes row 3), I need these values to represent the sum of values on Sheet 2 for the new week, while also ensuring that the previous row 2 (now row 3) maintains the values for that week of results.

    I had this vetted by a colleague so i hope this makes more sense
