    In column D1, type "=A1+B1+C1", then hit enter. Next, click the bottom right corner of the D1 cell (known as the fill handle) , and drag it down the D column. Google sheets will add the correct formula to each cell that you drag the fill handle over.

    How do I get a column in Google Sheet to automatically re-calculate?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Google Sheets should already recalculate if you are using formulas. If you update cells contained in the formula, the column should recalculate.

    How do I apply a formula to every cell in a column apart from the first to cells e.g., excluding E1 + E2 ?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Put the formula in E3, then click, hold, and drag the corner of the cell down to the last cell that you want to apply the formula to. Alternatively, after putting the formula in E3, simply double click the small square in the bottom right corner of the cell.

    How do you subtract the sum of 3 columns from another column to get the new column showing the profit margin?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    You need to use parentheses. For example: =D1-(A1+B1+C1), where A, B, C, and D are columns.

    My cell is formated for a total. How do I get the total to appear in a depending order

    Community Answer
    You can use the "IF" formula in a cell to determine the value that should appear based on a certain condition. For example, if you want the total to appear in a descending order, you can use the following formula: =IF(A1>B1,A1,B1) This formula says "if the value in cell A1 is greater than the value in cell B1, return the value in cell A1, otherwise return the value in cell B1." You can then copy and paste this formula in the cells below to find the next largest value, and so on. Note: In this example, the cells A1 and B1 are assumed to contain the numbers you want to compare. Replace these with the actual cell references for your data.
