say for a guy whose money is in A10, and assuming the next is in A11, copy

You don't need to worry about future months, the salary will be empty?

I am using Excel to work out wages, and i have my excel set up so that i
can
see all months from January to now in different "sheets". What i would
like
it to be able to do is, that i would like to be able to put an extra
section
in, so that on each pay check, people will be able to see how much they
have
earned from the start of the year, till today, how do i make it work that
out
automatically without having to tell it to work out the sum of I22
January,
february, march, april, may, june, july, august, and september, and then
next
month having to tell it all tha again plus one month.

If you dont understand let me know and i can try to send u a copy of what
im
talking about and you can play around with it a little...
