Formula in excel to run a tally
I am trying to run a fiscal year total as well as a project to date total.
When I put in the formula it works as it should until I go to the cell below to type in that info and it adds it to the above total. The following is an example: A1 B1 C1 Current Month FY to date Project to date =Sum(A1+B1) =Sum( B1+2648) When I put this formula in and put an amount in current month it calculates correctly. When I put an amount in A2 it adds it to B1 and C1. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

Formula in excel to run a tally
Hi Diana,
-- Hope this helps Martin Fishlock, Bangkok, Thailand Please do not forget to rate this reply. "Diana" wrote: Couple of points: You don't need to do sum if you have a1+b1. =A1+B1 or sum(a1:b1) Also on the project to date, I would suggest that the b/fwd figure is entered on a seperate line to make it clear. Pls check your formulas on row 2 and post again. It may be that you have $ on the cell reference as in: =sum($a$1+$b$1) I am trying to run a fiscal year total as well as a project to date total.
