I am working on a spreadsheet for my supervisor. He wants the program to be
able to calculate the total right below the amount of items he enters.
However, he may enter 1 item or 25. Is there some way to do this?

If there is nothing else in column A, then in any cell in B use =SUM(A:A)

I know how to use the sum function, but I don't think I am presenting the
question properly. He wants to enter anywhere from 2 items to 30 in column
B. But, he wants the total to appear directly below the items, whether it's
2 or 30. But, he doesn't want to have to insert or delete cells. I was
wondering if there was some kind of floating formula.
