Let me explain what I am doing. I am writing a CSV file programatically. I have a column of document names across the top.
Doc1 Doc2 Doc3 Each row consists of a format name and the count of that format in each document's column. Heading1 10 5 9 Body 40 12 22 So, for the last column in each row, I want to put a formula that will sum each format's count. I want to write a generic formula, if possible, because I don't want to keep track of the row number as I write the data. That is because I am writing some other things to the report.
