I know it's odd to ask for Excel help in this mailing list but I need help locating a LibreOffice Calc function/feature in Excel. :)
I'm helping a friend create a billing invoice and since I'm a Linux user, I'm using Calc to build the template. So far, it's working well and given I'm not an Excel user, I find myself struggling some in getting Excel to "behave". Anyway, I recently discovered the "/Expand reference when new rows are inserted/" in Calc. It does exactly what I needed. When I add/remove a row in/from the spreadsheet, my total "SUM()" formula is updated automagically. Does the equivalent feature exist in Excel? What I've found is, when adding rows *after* the last row in my SUM() formula, the new row is excluded from the SUM() formula. So, my formula is "=SUM(D7:D27)". Once I add row 28, I need the SUM() formula to be updated to "=SUM(D7:D28)". Conversely, when row 28 is removed, I want the SUM() formula to be updated to "=SUM(D7:D27". In Calc, the "/Expand reference when new rows are inserted/" feature does this work for me. I did some web searching and found this article: http://www.extendoffice.com/documents/excel/3895-excel-update-formula-when-inserting-rows.html but I hope to find an easier and more flexible way to accomplish what I need. Or is that approach what I really should use? Thanks in advance! Peace...
