Excel spreadsheet setup
Can someone help me with this problem?
Assume I have a row of cells named B1 and B2. Today I want the value in B1 to be the product of A1 times A2. Tomorrow, I will create another row of cells named C1 and C2. I will change the value of A1 and I want the value in C1 to be the product of the new A1 times A2. I do not want the old value in B1 to change from what it is today. Can you help me with this? Thank you very much, Ron -- rbane

You could use a Change Event macro to trigger each time the value in A1 changes.

Excel spreadsheet setup
In order to write a macro you need to know exactly what you want to happen,
and I don't think you have provided sufficient information to understand exactly what you enter or want created automatically. For instance adding two rows at a time not a typical spreadsheet application, so possibly you provided the wrong cell addresses and meant for the additions to be on the same row, but in any case I don't have an idea of the order that you are entering information and what is to be automated. In other words B1 and B2 are NOT on the same row. When you change the value in A1 can the new row(s) be created automatically, or id the calculated value going to appear when you add a new cell(s) below. If you look over the page reference I provided earlier you would get an idea of what you can do and help you provide a better definition of what you want done.
