Default Running total for balance sheet

hi
try this...assuming your amount column is A..change to suit.
=OFFSET(A2,COUNTIF(A2:A500,"0")-1,0)
it uses the offset function to return a value offset in row and columns from
a point.
in this case point is a2, rows offset is what ever is in the column and
colunms offset is 0.
the countif function counts the rows for the offset function.

Hi

I was wondering if anyone can give me a formula for a spreadsheet that
I am maintaining a list of transactions and has an amount due column.

I want to have a seperate cell that will always have the last amount
that appears in the amount due column.

Is there a formula to identify the last entry in the column if I keep
adding entries in the rows.

cheers
Debbie
