Below is a small sample of amts in Col E starting in row 5 which I'de
Like to have a macro enter (the totals) in
E6 -702.96
E9 -1,093.69
E11 -167.92
E15 -502.11
But for the life of me I can't get it going.
Can someone assist?
TIA,

You don't need VBA to do what you want, especially if this is a one-time or
a rather infrequent event. But, if you must, use the macro recorder (Tools
| Macro Record new macro...) to record the below.

Select column E, then Edit | Go to... | Special... button. In the next
dialog box, select the 'Blanks' option and click OK. This will select
everything but E15. So, hold down CTRL and select E15. Now, enter the
formula=-SUM($E$5:E14) and complete the task with CTRL+ENTER. Note the use
of both absolute and relative addresses in the formula.

If you did record the above, turn off the recorder and switch to the VBE.
In most cases, XL will have generated the relevant code. In addition, if
you share it here, someone should be able to generalize it for you.

Tom, I am going to name my "NEXT-BORN" -- "Tom Ogilvy May"!!!
But turning 62 this year - I'm a bit reluctant. You are
much appreciated by this Group.
Thanks for your high-level expertise.
You can always take your proposed solution "to-the-bank".
