Could you also just right click the row or column and format the cells so you don't have to drag or copy and paste?

We're all rooting for Weasel here, such an underdog, feelgood story if he can pull it out.

So as I populate columns B and C, column A will automatically know to sum their total for that row. Its really not hard to do manually, but as my sheet gets more complex it will save me loads of time
Click the box you like, and bottom right drag and it will duplicate the formula
I thought this was what he was doing but was looking for a better way, I think I misunderstood it all along.

Using the bottom right drag did the trick, so far its the best option Ive found. I drag it down a couple pages worth of rows at a time and go from there, much better than re-entering formulas

Winner.

It's the best way, because it actually duplicates the logic in the original formula and allows you to skip updating the cell #'s etc.

You can also do it to copy a whole row at a time for the same purpose. The only time it gets annoying is with dates, because it assumes the next day following the date listed, which isn't always what you want. Otherwise, it's supreme.

You're gonna hate me, I actually never saw the video until just now (I was at work and forgot about it once I got home). But thank you Corey, the effort is much appreciated xoxo
