In search of a formula that I can populate across columns.
Right now it looks something like this:
In cell J7: =($B7*J$3)-I7-H7-G7-F7-E7-D7-C7
In cell K7: =($B7*K$3)-J7-I7-H7-G7-F7-E7-D7-C7
Every new column subtracts the sum of the columns previous to it. The number of columns will continue to grow. What can I use instead of referencing each cell?

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple

J7 =($B7*J$3)-sum($C$7:I7)
K7 =($B7*K$3)-sum($C$7:J7)
Now u can autofill it

Hi,

I'll give a different one (slightly):

=$B7*J$3-SUM($C$7:I7)

Brackets not needed for the multiplication.
