    Help with =SUM that compounds

    Hi all,

    Untitled.png

    Is there a formula that would allow me to drag across the entire row? Thank you in advance for any help or ideas.

    USing the + symbol is reduntant in SUM() functions. What you want to use is a range reference, where the A column is "absolute" and the other column is relative. Something like:
    =SUM($A1:A1). Note the $ in front of the first A.

    See this for a discussion on using relative, absolute, and mixed references in formulas: https://support.office.com/en-us/art...es_in_formulas

    I figured out offset would work here:

    =SUM(OFFSET($A$1,0,0,1,COLUMN()))
