Question

Copy Calculation Formula Down Using Adjacent Cells

Hi,

 

I am trying to create a simple calculation for a price list/invoice type template. I have two issues- first, simply setting the first "TOTAL" field to multiply PRICE*QTY is not working- here is what I'm inputting in the 2nd screenshot below. In addition, I am assuming there is a faster way to auto-populate the same "TOTAL" column down, using QTY1 and PRICE1, QTY2 and PRICE2, etc where I wouldn't need to go into all 30 "TOTAL" fields to set the calculation manually for each- how would I do that? I unfortunately haven't found any answers relating to this specific problem here or on Youtube etc, but I'm assuming it is a common question. Is this possible, and how can I go about this so I don't waste hours of my life inputting calculations?

In addition, I do have the Excel spreadsheet this form was based on which includes the correct calculations. if anyone knows if there is a direct way to auto-populate the form fields while still including the calculations right in excel, please let me know. I'm not sure why I haven't found any answers to any of these questions online already, and I appreciate any help with this! The only way I have found to make the form right in Excel is to add each field manually... 

 

Thanks so much in advance!

Update- I overlooked a dumb mistake in making that field calculate because I named the price incorrectly. Anyways, I still need to know how I can automate the same calculations to fill to the rest of the "TOTAL" columns where it would grab it's respective price and quantity on the same line and not just keep grabbing the QTY1 and PRICE1 etc. Looking for a similar shortcut as you could drag down a formula in Excel... Thanks so much!
