Now I have only to solve the sum(over) art which can only make the SUM of a range of ROWS (eg C5 to C999) which does not work if I insert new ROWS because the C999 is not updated to C1000.

In fact, the formula will be updated correctly if you add rows anywhere except at the top or bottom of the row range. But adding such new rows at the bottom is an obvious and common need, of course.


This is handled by an obscure global setting
Tools>Options...Calc>General: "Expand references when new rows or columns are inserted" With this option I can insert anywhere in A2:A6 and SUM(A2:A5) becomes SUM(A2:A6).
Without this option I it only works within the referenced range A2:A5.

Keep this option on and turn it off when it becomes annoying which may occur while rearranging a sheet, but not while using it as a database replacement.

Hope this helps,
Andreas
