Default Excel formula.

How do I keep a running total of columns and rows? For example I don't want
to be stuck only with =SUM(A1:A4) which will only add the 4, but keep it
open to infinity if needed. I have a small business and I am trying to make
an accounting ledger of debits and credits.

Try this ...

=SUM($A$1:A1)

and copy all the way down until infinity...

Or if you don't want a total at each stage, but merely an overall total, use
=SUM(A:A)
