adding information
I am trying to keep an inventory of ware house. How do i have my "total" (say
1000 apples) in 1 column and another column have "recieved" (say i get 500 more apples). how do i get them to sum the added, and stay at 1500 apples, so the next time when i get 200 more apples i can type in 200 and it goes to 1700. so on and so on. i basically need to get around the reoccurring circle, but i can figure it out even when i enable it. |

Your inventory is exactly like a checkbook register!:

Sounds like you want to have your "total" cell as an accumulator.
It is possible but not easy to error-check because you would have no "paper trail" for checking. Best to use an extra column...........you have many of them on a sheet. Use that column for keeping a running total based on ins and outs. I f you must accumulate in one cell see John McGimpsey's site but heed the caveats. http://www.mcgimpsey.com/excel/accumulator.html Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Thu, 8 Jan 2009 09:47:01 -0800, darren wrote: I am trying to keep an inventory of ware house.
