Hi

No good getting angry and shouting at the world!

If you are working in column A1, then insert the following formula in Col B1

=IF(A1="","",A1)

Now enter the following formula in B2, and copy it down as far as you want
to go

IF(OR(A2="",B1=""),"",B1+A2)

Type your figures into column A, and you will have a running total in col B

We don't use caps lock when posting queries, it is considered rude :-)
