Working with Sums
A simplified example of a worksheet to try to explain my question
I have a two column work sheet Col A and Col B Col A has no Formula and is for entry Col B has a Formula to give a total of the last number in B plus an Entry in A Example: Row 1 Make an entry of $ 10.00 Col A Row 1 Since no formula is in that cell in col B repeat the entry of $ 10.00 Row 2 Make an entry of $ 10.00 Col A Row 2 Since Col B has a formula (=sum b1:a2) Automatically $ 20.00 appears. The problem is that all of the cells in Col B now show $ 20.00. How do I have all of the following cells in Col B Blank until an entry is made in A as per the Formula.

Hi Burt...
Save your data and work with a backup sheet, then change your B2 formula to this, and copy down =IF(A2="","",B1+A2) Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 "Burt" wrote in message . ..

To use a single formula, from B1 down, try this:
=IF(A1,SUM($A$1:A1),"") This also works if there are empty cells anywhere in Column A. -- HTH, RD ============================================== Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit! ============================================== "Burt" wrote in message . ..
