Adding a new row to a worksheet and having the sum formula automaticly update???Help

[MatthewB.]

I am not 100% sure how to explain this, so here is my best. I have a worksheet that contains dates(months) and numbers
A
Dec-01 19
Jan-02 10
Feb-02 15
March-02 20
April-02 14
May-02 5
Last 5months =sum(B2:B6
Total =sum(B1:B6
My problem is that i want to imput a new row...June-02 I want the last 5 months to look at the info in B3-B7. Is there any formula that will automaticly do this everytime I add a new row/month

Also, Is there any way to have a sum funtion automaticly add the new row into the total function

Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Matthew, in B7, this will total the last five months:
=SUBTOTAL(9,(OFFSET(B7,-5,0,5)));
and in B8, this will total the column: =SUBTOTAL(9,B1:B7). Note that the
range is B1:B7. The SUBTOTAL function ignores the formula in B7.

Both will automatically update when you insert rows immediately above.

Thanks DDM

The first funtion worked fine, but the 2nd one is not adding in the added rows

But the 1st part was the most important. Thank a million.

Matthew, what I would suggest is that when adding rows, you select (in your
example) A6:B6, right-click them, and Insert > Shift cells down > OK. That
should compel the second formula to include the inserted row.
