Case 1:
I have a excel grid A to E, i added formula on column D as =SUM(A3+C3), now when i add new column in between A and B , the formula cell D is shifted to E and formula on it is changed to =SUM(B3+D3), which should have been =sum(A3+D3), can anyone suggest the solution,
Case 2:: i have A to E excel grid and formula cell is on E as =sum(A1+C1), now when i add column after C, then again the formula cell(E) shifted to F and formula changes to =sum(B1+D1) which should not have been changed as new column was added after the cells used on formula
(Seems like its same on demo examples as well, isnt that wrong?)

Yes you are right, shifting of formulas is not perfect when columns are inserted in between formula columns.

It would be corrected / improved upon in upcoming versions.
