ARRAYFORMULA
Fill a whole column with one formula, so rows you add later get their result without copying anything down.
In this lesson
- ARRAYFORMULA makes one formula fill a whole column, so you don't copy it down.
- A range with no end row, like B2:B, covers rows you add later.
- Wrap the math in IF so rows with no item stay blank instead of showing 0.
