Formula for Running total
 

Ok I am a Dispatcher for a local Police Agency and my Boss has given me a
task. We have to keep a daily running total of all calls and type of call.
What I need help on is finding the formula that would do the following. In
Column A I have the Type of Calls, In Column B I have the Present Day's Total
Calls, and in Column C I need the running YTD Total. At first I thought the
formula would be =YTD+B2 but it turned out that it does not keep a RUNNING
total. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!

Ok, Crystal, never mind. Perhaps is difficult to get the file... Follows the
hint, I hope you understand:
Col B ColC
40 In C1 put: =B1 (Result: 40)
5 In C2 put: =IF(B2="";"";SUM($B$1:B2)) (Result: 45)
20 In C3 paste the formula below (Result:65)
C4,C5 ..... with the same formula.
So, when you put in ColB a number, in ColC must appear the YTD total.

Regards.

Another approach:
Assuming that your daily data is from B1 to B30, so the total can appear
only in C1, something like =IF(B1="";0;SUM($B$1:B30))
(I don't know if in your country the separator is ; or ,)

At the end of each day, you need to move your daily totals to a master data
sheet so you have an audit trail. Then in this sheet you could sum up that
data using Sumif

Basically formulas don't store information and even though this can be
simulated with intentional circular references, I don't think it would be
very reliable. If you made an entry mistake, you could have trouble
reconstructing your data.

I agree with Tom, but if you want really something like you wrote, try VB,
something like this:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim myRange As Range
Dim Var, Var1 As Long
Set myRange = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B1:B10")
Var = Range("C1").Value
Var1 = Application.WorksheetFunction.Sum(myRange) + Var
Var = Var1 - Var
Range("C1") = Var

End Sub

So, if you change the number of one of the cells B, in C1 you have the
running Total.
