Can you reference an entire column in OpenOffice Calc (like A:A in Excel)?

I'm using a Sum of a column, and it keeps growing, so I have to update the reference to which cells should be summed.
Can you reference an infinite group of cells?
Let's say:
SUM(D2:D∞)

No matter if you use LibreOffice, Excel or any other spreadsheet, your solution may be applied to LibreOffice too.

In Excel the solution is to use a reference to the entire column. While Excel has a limit on the number of rows and columns a sheet can have, the maximum number is as close to infinite as you're going to get.

For your example, you could use the following:

=SUM(D:D)-IF(ISNUMBER(D1),D1,0)

This adds everything in Column D and subtracts the value of D1, the cell you left out.
