[...] Long-time readers of my blog may remember how a year ago (13 months to be exact) I tried my hand at PPC affiliate marketing for the first time. [...]

sorry that should be: word count =LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,” “,”"))+1

…and maybe an IF(A1=”",0,…) wrapper to account for empty cells.

Sorry for the late followup but there’s actually yet another way: I was playing around with Excel the other day and it turns out you can just select down along the left coordinate column at the row where you want to insert new rows, then right click -> Insert. Yeah I admit, these aren’t really “tricks”, I just never got around to really learning the program. It’s incredibly powerful… I was skimming the help and noticed that there is actually a worksheet function to access the Win32 API (not sure what you would do with this tho).

I saw some clever stuff tho when it comes to improvising worksheet functions that aren’t built in. For example word count =LEN(A1)-SUBSTITUTE(A1,” “,”")+1. Regexp match would be nice, I’m sure there are some Excel addons for that… also I haven’t looked into it but I think there should be a way to sort/operate on multiple worksheets at once (i.e. past the 65k row limit), and selectively display rows by some filter criteria.

All this stuff is very userful in PPC…

Thanks Rob, both Insert Row “tricks” worked. I’ll try to remember that in the future so I can do that from now on. The second tip is very handy so I can just select 8-10 rows and insert them to shift more room quickly.

> 2. … how can I make it so I can just keep copy/pasting it to make more room and don’t have to keep updating them?

Not sure if this is what you are referring to but these two tricks may help: insert rows above (but not immediately above) the summary row instead of copying, this will expand the sum formula range automatically… it doesn’t take too long with the Alt,I,R shortcut. Another way is to select a bunch of complete rows below, copy, then right click -> insert rows somewhere above the summary row.

Also if you need absolute cell references in the formulas, put a $ before the col or row to be kept constant, e.g. “=$A$1″ will reference that exact cell no matter how you fill down or copy the formula. Selecting the cell reference in the formula and pressing F4 is a shortcut to put in the ‘$’s instead of having to type them. The absolute references automatically adjust if you insert rows above the cell referenced.

Thank you for that tip. I have done it manually all the time. Now I know how.
