Summing down the way in excel. Im trying to calculate the total along a path in stepwise pieces, for example for each blank row I want the total from the left cell and add it to the total overall.
column 14 row 1 should be 3925.923, C14 R2 3925.923+1407.438, C14 R3 3925.923+1407.438 +1075.749 etc all the way to the bottom.
Use SUM() formula like-
=SUM($A$1:$A1)

I need to calculate Stand BA (highlighted on the right). This average is obtained by taking the sum of each plot's BA/ac value and dividing by the number of plots (for this example, there are 11 #1024 plots). The number of plots is always different. What formula could I use to apply the StandBA column so that I can drag it all the way down by plot number?
Try using =AVERAGEIF(A:A,A2,T:T).
It will return the average value from column T, and rows having the value of A2 (then A3, A4...) in column A will be the only ones to be taken into consideration for the calculation of the average value.
EDIT:
Use =IF(A2=A3,"",AVERAGEIF(A:A,A2,T:T)) if you want only the last rows of your Plot Id to contain the average formula (as shown on the screenshot in column U).
Example with columns A:C, formula pasted into C2 and dragged down to the last row.
I need find determined cell position based in yout position of range cells total.
Example:
In this table, i have 15 cells,"x" is 8th in these 15 cells and your position is B3. I need find B3 knowing only "x" is 8th cell in this range using a formula.
How to make a formula to find cell this way?
Assuming a 3 column wide area:
=ADDRESS(INT((F1-1)/3)+1,MOD(F1-1,3)+1)
Where F1 has the 8 and the 3s represent the number of columns in the area.
I have a large table in excel with Column A running from 0 to 120 with increments of ~0.08 (This puts the last cell at 1441). I need to condense the table into increments of just 1. I need a function that can average the values from 0-1 and then be able to drag that function down so that the next cell references the next ~12 cells after the first. For Example: I need to average values from A1:A12, then when I drag the formula down 1 cell, it averages A13:A25, and so one.
Sample Data
=AVERAGE(OFFSET($A$1,12*(ROW()-1),0,12,1))
ADDED IN RESPONSE TO SAMPLE DATA
In cell H2 to get averages of column B you can use the formula
=AVERAGE(OFFSET($B$1,12*(ROW()-2)+1,0,12,1))
In cell I2 to get averages of column C you can use the formula
=AVERAGE(OFFSET($C$1,12*(ROW()-2)+1,0,12,1))
And so forth.
I am trying to display the total sum of all the numbers for a particular column. I want the sum to be displayed above the column as follows:
21 30
A B
6 5
6 10
6 10
3 5
I know I can sum the values and display it at the bottom of the column using =SUM(A3:INDIRECT("D"&ROW()-2)), however I am not getting a way to display it at the top of the column.
Please guide.
Based on the comments and the previous answers I suggest following formula, entered in cell A1:
=SUM(OFFSET(A$2,0,0,ROWS(b:b)-1))
You can then copy/paste to the right till second last column.
You could also modify your formula in A1 like this to achieve the same:
=SUM(INDIRECT("A2:A"&ROWS(A:A)-2))
But then you cannot copy/paste to the right...
A more general approach with your idea would be:
=SUM(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW()+1,COLUMN())&":"&ADDRESS(ROWS(A:A),COLUMN())))
You can then copy/paste to the right till last column.
Some explanations:
Both formula sums up every value in the range from A2 till the bottom of column A (i.e. for Excel 2010 this would be A2:A1048576)
It doesn't matter if there are blanks or cells without value; the formula sums up only the numbers
I put A$2 and B:B in the OFFSET formula to avoid circular references, since I'm writing in cell A1 and I cannot write A$1 nor A:A
With the INDIRECT formula you don't have to worry about circular references
Further commenting (sorry, I don't have the credits to comment at the right place under the question):
Phylogenesis formula =SUM(A3:A65535) could also do the work, isn't it?
Didn't understand your question at first, because you talk of "sum of all the numbers for a particular row" but then you sum columns, isn't it?
When I'm doing something like this, I prefer to not include any empty cells beneath the range I'm summing, because I've had errors in the past as the result of including them (usually because there's a cell way down in the column somewhere that I'm not expecting to have a value). I'm assuming that A & B are your column headers. Assuming that, here is how I would do it. This is your formula for cell A1:
=SUM(OFFSET(A$1,2,0,COUNTA(A$3:A$65535)))
Explanation
I'm updating this with a brief explanation, per the OP's request.
According to ExcelFunctions.net:
The Excel Offset function returns range of cells that is a specified number of rows and columns from an initial supplied range.
The function reference for OFFSET is:
=OFFSET(reference, rows, cols, [height], [width])
What this formula does is create a dynamic range based on the number of cells in the selection, relative to cell A$1. This is an offset of two rows and no columns, which starts the range at A$3. The height of the range is the total number of filled cells in the range A$3:A$65535. The assumption here is that there are no blank cells in the range, which there were not in the sample data.
I want to be able to auto fill cells such that cell L3 contains the formula =T3-U3, cell M3, =V3-W3, cell N3, =X3-Y3, cell O3 =Z3-AA3, etc.
I've spent hours looking through every offset and indirect tutorial going and I just can't figure it out.
The closest I've got (for L3, say) is
=offset(R3,,COLUMN()+2,1,1)-offset(S3,,COLUMN()+2,1,1)
I think I want to use COLUMN()*2 somehow but, firstly, I don't understand the point of the reference cell if we're using 'COLUMN()', and secondly, I don't really understand what quantity is being multiplied by 2.
Please try:
=OFFSET($T3,,2*(COLUMN()-11)-2)-OFFSET($T3,,2*(COLUMN()-11)-1)
This anchors the reference point as the T column and adds an offset of -11 for a formula to be entered in the twelfth column (ie L).
COLUMN() is the reference number for the location (A=1, B=2, etc) and in Column L that is 12. We are interested in skipping to the column after the next (+2), so we take the offset (11) off of the column number we are in (12), then double that.
