i have a spreadsheet in excel 2003 that i use to figure trucking miles and
the rate for those miles. it is done in alphabetical order. when i need to
add a row, how do iget the formula to apply to that row like the others.

Where is the formula located and what does it look like?

You can enter a formula at the top of the sheet like =SUM(A:A) entered in B1

You can enter a formula at the bottom of the data range.

=SUM(A2:INDEX(A:A,ROW()-1)) entered in A12

As you insert rows above row 12, the formula will include those rows.

If you also want the formulas inserted with the row see David McRitchie's site
for his INSERTROW event code.
