Cells can't normally both contain a value and a formula. Typically, you
would enter in cell C1 =A1+B1

But you want to enter in B1 =B1+A1

The only way to do that is with VBA code, not normal Excel functions.

VBA code line looks like this then

Range("B1").Value = Range("B1").Value + Range("A1").Value

Why do you "need" the total to reside in B1?

This method is very prone to errors which leave no "paper trail" for future
auditing.

You're always better off using a third cell to Sum 2 others.

See this google search result for more info, including code.
