ok, then i suggest using the worksheet's CHANGE event...


Option Explicit

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column = 5 Then
Target.Offset(, 1).FormulaR1C1 = "=R[-1]C + RC5"
End If
End Sub

The formula that I am using is roughly the same as everone is giving me.
However, I have to manually paste this formula into every "F" cell to get the
new total. I am looking for one general Catch-all to use, that will
automatically fill in a new total, after I type in my new transaction into
"E", without ever touching "F".

surely you are using formulae? thats the point of Excel

in F8
=F7+E8

then copy the formula down the column

I have an open workbook with mulitiple sheets. I want to create a column "F"
that will keep track of all transactions made in column "E". e.g
"E" "F"
Amount $ Balance
$5,000.00 $5,000.00
-$0.04 $4,999.96
$3.89 $5,003.85
$24,000.00 $29,003.85
$21,000.00 $50,003.85
$16,000.00 $66,003.85

However, as of right now, I have to manually add/subtract "E" and then type
it in to "F". What can I do to have this done automatically? I am falling way
behind in doing this manually and need to catch up/remain current on 50+
pages, and counting.
