u/IHaveNoSoul12

i'm writing a story (just a little project for myself, not a book) set in nyc 1999-early 2000 (not the decade, the specific year) and i have a main character who especially expresses herself through the music she listens to as it also reflects her character arc (mostly female artists, predominantly hiphop but also r&b, then she later incorporates more soul, techno and rock) except i was not born in 2000 nor in america

i thought this would be the best place to ask for some recommendations of where to start for her and what would have been popular/available at the time? i've of course been looking at the staples of the genre, but it's hard to know what would have been actually accessible to her at the time (what cds/cassettes there were, i mean)

i do have a side character who is also music centric (he's sort of a mirror for her so more male artists for him, likely more techno and rap) so really any recs would do! sorry this is a weird question, i know haha

i'm using a free template for a character profile and it has some boxes behind the text. i want to add more because i have more sections to add but when i try to copy and paste it, it just deletes the closest box. i am totally terrible at techy stuff, please note. image attached in the comments

i'm a total newbie to Google Sheets and I've never been mathematically inclined - I'm making a checklist of parts of my collection I want to take with me when I move and I want to add up how many things it would be in total (so for example, it'd be 28 DVDs, 9 CDs and 2 books)

is there a way to do this? i'd prefer it to be a separate column (so the D column would be adding it all up) if that's possible. when i say i'm really new at sheets i mean it (and bad at numbers in general, it took me a couple minutes to add up the DVDs)

i'm grateful any help!
