In the new Google Spreadsheets, I'm trying to make a simple spreadsheet which will assign points to my salesmen regarding some actions they complete.

I would like to be able to add a new row below the 2nd row that replicates the formula I have in column "U":

=COUNTIF(H3:Q3,"email")+(COUNTIF(H3:Q3,"response")*2)+(COUNTIF(H3:Q3,"call")*5)+(COUNTIF(H3:Q3,"deal")*10)

Ideally, in Excel I would use a macro, but I'm lost here...

Either I'm totally misunderstanding what the problem is, or this is very easy with no macros required (in either tool).

Making a new row is easy, just select row 2, and then choose Insert → Row below from the menus.

Then, to replicate the formula you have in column U (I'm assuming just in the new cell is that row):

  • click on one the formula in one of the other rows;
  • press F2, to go into editing mode select the whole formula;
  • copy it—Ctrl+C;
  • click into the cell where you need to place it;
  • paste it—Ctrl+V.

  • Thanks, I think I explained myself wrong (English is not my first language, sorry!). I could add the row and copy the formula, but I would like to do that in one movement. Thanks! – Ysasmendi Mar 28 '14 at 11:59

Google Apps Script (GAS) Google spreadsheets could be used in a similar way that Macros are used in Excel.

In the first reference below you could find how to start with GAS. The second reference was shared in a comment to the question that includes a script and example that could be used to start with.
