    Formulas in cells question

    Hello,

    I am trying to run different, simple formulas in different cells and I was wondering if there was any easier way to do this than to type out the formula each time.

    Here's what I'm trying to do:

    A| B| C| D

    3| 4| 2| =sum(a1:b1:c1)
    12| 111| 9| =sum(a2:b2:c2)



    etc...


    As you can see, the formulas in column D are very similar, with only the row number changing. Is there any quicker way to do this other than writing out =sum(...) in every D cell?


    This may give you a better understanding:

    Do =SUM(A1:C1) then Control + enter then D1 has a box around it put your cursor over the right bottom corner till it turns into a plus sign then double click.
