enter image description here

I would like to have in the red circle cell (C19) the sum of all the C column. I’ve tried using C1 to C50 in the formula (=SUM(C1:C50)). I use C1:C50 and not C1:C18 because if I add some lines before the final sum I would like those to be included in the final sum.

So 2 questions:

1) How can sum all the C column without only C1 (which is a date) and without C19 (to not cause the circular reference, since that is the cell where just the previous values should be sum and presented?

2) If there’s a formula for that, would it auto-update if I add more lines (let’s say I add another line and the final sum changes to C20)? Then C19 should also be add to the sum.

PS: the image is showing the formula for the B column because I will use the same formula in all columns, I just asked about C because there I have a working sum.

    1) How can sum all the C column without only C1 (which is a date) and
    without C19 (to not cause the circular reference, since that is the
    cell where just the previous values should be sum and presented?

    =SUM(C2:C18,C20:C50)

    2) If there’s a formula for that, would it auto-update if I add more
    lines (let’s say I add another line and the final sum changes to C20)?
    Then C19 should also be add to the sum

    If you were to insert a row between rows 2 and 18 with the above formula Excel will automatically change it to
    =SUM(C2:C19,C21:C51)
