    Use Data Tables instead. Their structured references will adjust the ranges automatically.

    Thanks, Glenn, for your attention.
    Actually, I am Not very well-versed with Excel. My data has grown quite much, and I had been using the traditional way of calculations. I wonder' if I switch over to the Data table, I may have to go through plenty of modifications and spend long hours for that.
    I would appreciate, if you elaborate on the way to go about the data table, without sweating for hours.

    Thanks in anticipation.

    It would be easier to demonstrate the benefits of data Tables.

    Please attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to open the upload window.

    Well done, Glenn. So, this is the Data Table! I had been using it without knowing its name.
    Thank you very much for the lesson, and have a great time.

    Regards.
