Auto sum only adds certain cells
When I try to add a column or row, it outlines a part of that row and gives a result based on that or else it just gives me a zero. I suspect there's some kind of programming already embedded into the file I'm using. I'm trying to figure out how to attach a sample, but can't find the attachment icon if there is one. And might I add that I have no idea what I'm doing.... 😉
Broadview_writer1977 Well, auto-sum doesn't work very well when the data range contains empty cells.
Enter zeroes in empty cells and redo auto-sum and it will work. Alternatively, manually enter =SUM(B2:B5) in B6 and copy across. Then =SUM(B2:H2) in I2 and copy down.

Thanks. I've altered the content, since the original file contained personal info. I'm not familiar with OneDrive so have used my Google Drive instead. I hope that works for you.
