This is such a dummy question, but I can’t figure out how to do basic formula cell functions in Glide. Even with Excel formulas.
I just want to “Copy down” a formula that continually adds to the value above it. But Glide only seems to want to work to the right. I can’t get formulas to work “down”.
Sample of what I want in gSheets is attached. Base value in B2. Add value from D2 to the total and continually down B3, B4, B5, etc. How do I do this IN GLIDE (not gsheets, since it’s a calculator and values will be dynamic). Thanks

Your D2 value is empty though. Do you mean F2?

Do you only have the one house and condo or do you have a record of them?

It’s all user specific values since it functions only as a “calculator”. So no records.
The user inputs their own custom values that I run some math on in the other columns. Then compare them on a chart.
But the crux of what I can’t figure how to do is simply “Add down” those values like the most basic gSheet or excel formula.
@ThinhDinh Yes F2 is the target. But could be any target.

- Number your rows, from 0-N
- Create a Math column that is `House + N * 200`, where N is the Row Number

Then you’d simply need 1 or 2 helper tables.
I say 2 because 1 table could be where user is entering data and the 2nd would be the calculations that @Darren_Murphy mentioned above (using single value columns to bring in the entered values)
This will help:

> wave Hey Gliders! By request, I created a video that explains how to replace 14 commonly used Google Sheet/Excel Formulas using Glide computed columns and other native Glide functionality. Formulas are timestamped in the description. For good measure, I also threw in how to use the Excel Formula plugin column upside_down_facepopcorn Enjoy!
