Default How do I set a cell that can increase but never decrease?

I am trying to create a sales tool with Excel. I've downloaded a template and
I am now modifying it for my own use. I need to keep a running total of
qualified prospects. This total needs to be fixed so that even if an entry is
deleted (the sale doesn't occur) the running total of qualified prospects
still includes that entry as a number in the total quailfied prospects.

I'm using IF and COUNTIF to count the number of qualified prospects but each
time I delete an entry that was a qualified prospect the total number of
qualified prospects decreases by one. I need this number to be fixed even if
the entry is deleted.

Any ideas?

Thank you, think the Macro idea would work but I've decided to bypass the
problem and rely on user input.

Many thanks

If you delete a qualifier the formula needs to have a different qualifier.
Perhaps a count of rows unless you delete a row. OR, a macro that saves a
variable and never lets it get lower than the last time you added...
