The bug is in the P column equation. Currently, it is:

[top]O4+IF(L4


"Steady",BB4, IF(L4="Multi", 0.5, IF(L4="Aimed", BO4, IF(L4="Auto", 0.5,0))))

It needs to be

[top]O4+IF(L4


"Steady",BB4, IF(OR(L4="Multi", L4="Arcane"), 0.5, IF(L4="Aimed", BO4, IF(L4="Auto", 0.5,0))))

To fix the spreadsheet, enter the modified formula in the P4 cell, select the P4 cell, move the mouse to the lower right corner of the selection rectangle until the cursor changes to a +, and then drag the cursor all the way down the column stopping at row 53.
I've just tested this on version 7, and it seems to be working. I get the start of the arcane at 0, the end of the arcane at 0, the start of the Auto at 0, and the end of the auto at 0.5. I think you may be looking for the cast start time to be delayed 0.5 seconds with a 0 second cast time. What I have implemented it as is a 0.5 second cast time. The DPS will be calculated for both shots over 0.5 seconds of time, which is accurate with what you'd see in game.

Your changes would put a 0.5 second cast delay on Arcane shot. It wouldn't effect Auto shot at all.
