    This works if you drag to the right, not copy/paste

Riny_van_Eekelen yes, i mean Structured tables, thank you for the interesting link, but it doesn't assume formula copying: I need in the same raw in column C to sum cells from column A to B, in col D - sum from A to C (including B), but when I copy the formula from C to D I'm getting the sum of A and C, excuding B.

      SergeiBaklan thank you very much!, now I see my mistake: visually the rage and the cells sum are the same, the difference is only in commas in the formula - ":" or ";"

       

      but I expected to see the range as we see in all other excel

        With semicolon that's another formula, with it you sum column A (fixed) WITH another column (C, D, etc). With colon you sum entire range from column A TO another column (C, D, etc).

        Just in case I attach the file with the sample.
