How to include a newly inserted column in an existing formula?
I have a formula at the end of a row that adds everything to the left. I want to insert a new column and have it automatically included in the formula. Excel does this by default, can smartsheets do the same?

Hi @mbrydges
I hope you're well and safe!
Yes, as long as you add it between the range.
Something like this.
=IF(ColumnA:ColumnZ. . .
Would that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Yes, or at least should the last column be last in the range.
First Column ___as long as you place the new column here in between, it should work just fine____ Last Column (in the range).
Make sense?

That means I have to have a placeholder column at the end of the range, right? I can't just add the new column to the end and have it included in the sum? For context, this is for a budget spread sheet and I add a new column for each draw at the end of the month and the last column is the running total of all the draws.
