I am working with a file that has 55,000 rows. I often have to insert a column and then write a formula based on the values in the other columns. The only way I know how to copy the formula down the column is to drag the corner of the cell all the way down. I thought there was a way to do this by using ctrl shift end or something like that, but I don't remember how. Thanks.

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.

After selecting all range in the column, write the formula in the first cell on the top, and then Ctrl + Enter.

Other way is write the formula in the first cell, then select that cell and put the cursor in the right down corner of the cell and double click....
