    Question Help with Saved Values

    Okay, so heres the dealio. I'm trying to create a "complicated" kind of processing that should be automated instead of me changing the values constantly manually. How I go about doing that, I have no clue.
    Here is what the table roughly is looking like:

    A3: Stat, B3: Growth Points Earned, C3: Exp Gained, D3: Growth Rate, E3: Weapon Change, F3: Item Change, G3: Enemy Change, H3: Current Growth Points, I3: Starting Growth Points

    This continues for 8 lines, with a secondary Calculator later on at:

    A13: Exp Calc, B13: New Exp Value, C13: Old Exp Value, D13: Exp Earned

    How the table currently works: Input value into New Exp Value, It then subtracts the old Exp, giving a value under Exp Earned. Exp Earned is translated into Exp gained for the 8 lines in the first coding, which then causes a value to become created for Growth Points Earned. Growth Points earned is calculated via: =C4*(D4+E4+F4+G4) [Exp Earned * (Growth Rate+Weapon Change+Item Change+Enemy Change).

    What needs to be done: Make the table automatically add B4 as in the example, to I4 to create a value for H4, and for it to stop after doing the calculation once, as to not cause an infinite string of numbers going on and on. Not only for the first row(Row 4) but for all 8 rows(Row 4-Row 11). Having to plug in the growth points earned each time is tedious and time consuming that I would rather skip out on to actually make progress within what the spreadsheet is trying to accomplish!

    Hope someone has an answer because I've wracked my head on this problem for a while and can't figure it out.

    Re: Not Exactly Sure which subsection this should go under.

    Welcome to the Forum, unfortunately yYour post does not comply with Rule 1 of our Forum RULES. Your post title should accurately and concisely describe your problem, not your anticipated solution. Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.
    To change a Title on your post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.

    Hope that helps.
