First of all, I have been trying to figure out how to do a formula that has variables in it. They say that 1 line of code is better than 1,000 words, so: 
$row = (localtime)[3] - 1;
$worksheet->write_formula($row, 6, '=SUM(C$row:E$row)'   );

is what i'm trying to do. (the above doesnt work, but if it'd work, thatd be EXACTLY what I need) And the second question is.. As a temp fix for the above problem, i tried doing it the "normal" way: 
$row = (localtime)[3] - 1;
$worksheet->write_formula($row, 6, '=SUM(C20:E20)'   );

However, that also doesnt work. It runs fine, it just produces a zero in the cell, even though C20, D20, and E20 have numeric values in them (G20 is empty, however). Help would be greatly appreciated.
