Excel Question

little0run
I am trying to make a spreadsheet that will automatically add the numbers in the first two collumns in every row and write the answerin the third collumn, but I'd like it to carry over for every row after that, but without me having to set it to add them, does anybody know how to do this?

Can you provide a short sample of what you want? It sounds confusing, but do you want something like this:

Add Column 1 and Column 2 and put result in Column 3
Add Column 4 and Column 5 and put result in Column 6
.....

If so, why don't you just put the formula in Columns 3, 6, 9, etc... now and then just copy the formula all the day down the spreadsheet. So now when you enter data in Columns 1 and 2, 4 and 5, .... they will automatically be calculated on the fly.

Yes, just putting in an addition formula in your column 3 to add column 1 and 2 would be the easiest way to add the forst two columns.

Click on the column 3 frost row and type "=A1+B1" and hit enter
Then get your mouse to the bottom right corner of C1 and click and drag. This should apply the formula the the entire column 3 on all rows through which you drag it.

I looked up the help section, but I haven't come across any wat to do this entirely automatically as yet.

    Hi, I want to use filenames on my Excel Spreadsheet for the files I have in my folder. For example,

    Hi, I have an Excel spreadsheet here that has 4 columns in it. The Date, some number, and whether

    to do is that if there is an X marked in the column for Received, and the number matches to the one
    that's not received, I want the blue color to be changed to the default black again. As of now,
    I'm doing a lot of this manually. So, for example: Date Number Received Not
