Perhaps better to simply use an adjacent top cell
to total up successive inputs down col A ?

Put in say, B1: =SUM(A:A)
B1 will return the total of the numbers entered down col A

If you really want to accumulate by inputting repeatedly into A2,
try JE McGimpsey's page at:

Look for:
- Single cell accumulator
- Worksheet Function Accumulator (using Circular References)

Excel 2000

Hiya, I have a question for all you brainboxes out there!
Im VERY new to excel so please explain clearly or I'll be completley
lost!!

In the cell A3 I would like to have a "Grand Total".
In the cell A2, I would like to enter a number, eg. 400 (this would then
appear in A3 as 400), THEN I would like to enter another number, eg. 307
in
cell A2. (this wouuld then appear in A3 as 707).

I hope that explains it, I find it a bit confusing.
Thanks for any help you can offer :)
