Bob,

That did the work. Much better then mine. :-)

Put this in B1

=IF(A1<0,0,A1)

Then in B2, add

=IF(A2<0,0,SUM(INDEX($A$1:A2,MAX(IF($A$1:A10,ROW( $A$1:A1)))+1):A2))

which is an array formula, it should be committed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, not
just Enter.

and copy B2 down.

Thanks Bob!

I can't adapt your formula for my purpose so I'm either being thick or
didn't explain myself properly:

Column A
-0.22%
-0.80%
2.00%
3.63%
-1.00%
3.00%
5.00%

In cells b2 and b3 I would want a formula to return 0 (I want all
negative numbers in column a to be regarded as 0) while cell b4 would
contain the value 0.98% (ie the sum of a4 and any preceding negative
numbers since the last positive number). And so the series in column b
would continue.

Again, any help would be much appreciated!
