I have a row in which there are formulas using values of the same row.
The next row is empty, just with a different background color.

Now, if I insert a new row (by right-clicking on the empty row and “insert”), I get a new row with NO background color (which is what I want), but the line also does NOT contain any formulas: how do I get Excel to be smarter and copying the formulas from the previous row, when creating the new row?

One more piece of information: data validation information (i.e. a drop down list) is copied when inserting the new row.

Thanks.

    Make the area with your data and formulas a Table:

    enter image description here

    Then adding new information in the next line will copy all formulas in that table for the new line. Data validation will also be applied for the new row as it was for the whole column. This is indeed Excel being smarter with your data.

    NO VBA required…
