I know it's odd to ask for Excel help in this mailing list but I need
help locating a LibreOffice Calc function/feature in Excel. :)
I'm helping a friend create a billing invoice and since I'm a Linux
user, I'm using Calc to build the template. So far, it's working well
and given I'm not an Excel user, I find myself struggling some in
getting Excel to "behave". Anyway, I recently discovered the "/Expand
reference when new rows are inserted/" in Calc. It does exactly what I
needed. When I add/remove a row in/from the spreadsheet, my total
"SUM()" formula is updated automagically.
Does the equivalent feature exist in Excel? What I've found is, when
adding rows *after* the last row in my SUM() formula, the new row is
excluded from the SUM() formula. So, my formula is "=SUM(D7:D27)".
Once I add row 28, I need the SUM() formula to be updated to
"=SUM(D7:D28)". Conversely, when row 28 is removed, I want the SUM()
formula to be updated to "=SUM(D7:D27". In Calc, the "/Expand
reference when new rows are inserted/" feature does this work for me.
I did some web searching and found this article:
https://www.extendoffice.com/documents/excel/3895-excel-update-formula-when-inserting-rows.html
but I hope to find an easier and more flexible way to accomplish what I
need. Or is that approach what I really should use?
Thanks in advance!
Peace...

Nevermind! I found this:
https://bettersolutions.com/excel/formulas/automatic-expansion.htm
That should do what I need!
Thanks anyway! :)

In EXCEL you can do this:
A B C
1 2 3
=A2+3 =B2+3 =C2+3
(I used CTRL+T to show formulas, you should see the values 4,5,6)
When you select A1:C3, and choose 'Insert'/'Table'
After this, typing the value 7 in cell 'A4', en pressing 'Enter' results
in the fields B4 and C4 being updated with the same formula as in row 3.
How can this be achieved in LibreOffice Calc ?
