Simple, but not for me...help
Trying to set up a simple spreadsheet. Columns A, B, C are client information
Column D is Invoice (current one in dollars) Column E is to be total to date, for all the invoices in Column D, adding column D to E each time for a running total. I cannot get this to work. Is there not a simple way to do this basic function ? Thanks, TK |

Simple, but not for me...help
In the very first row (let's assume it's row 2), use this formula in E2
=D2 in E3 use =E2+D3 and copy it down as needed "TKinHawaii" wrote: Trying to set up a simple spreadsheet.

I will have hundreds or rows, I have to copy this formula into each one ?
If that is the case it would be just as easy to use the calculator, add and insert the number. If the program will not do a simple, ongoing, function like this.......I am surprised.

OK, it appears you haven't used Excel very much at all.
After you've entered the 2d formula, keep that cell active. Notice at the bottom right corner of the cell border there is a little square? And when the mouse hovers over that square it turns into a + symbol, too. Notice that? Now double click that little square and your formula will be copied down for you.

You are absolutely correct, my experience is LIMITED and at times I think
my brain is limited. The obvious is sometimes unseen by me. Thanks for your help, I appreciate it. TK "Duke Carey" wrote: OK, it appears you haven't used Excel very much at all.

Tried that and the formula did not carry down, the next colum in the
Total remainded blank. TK "Duke Carey" wrote: OK, it appears you haven't used Excel very much at all. After you've entered the 2d formula, keep that cell active.

You have to be sure to click exactly on the little square.
If that doesn't work for you, let the mouse hover over the little square. When the mouse pointer changes to a +, left click on the square and WHILE HOLDING THE LEFT MOUSE BUTTON DOWN drag the mouse down the column to copy the formula to all the cells where you want it.

No luck, that does not seem to work either. My son, who is a programmer,
although not a MS expert, tried yesterday and he could not get the function or formula to work. Damn, should be so simple.

Well, another option is to select the cell with the formula, then press
Ctrl-c. You should see the border of the cell change to moving line Now select the cells where you want the formula to appear and press Ctrl-v to paste the formula "TKinHawaii" wrote: No luck, that does not seem to work either.

Thanks,
Once I get this to work, can I put the formula in all the TOTAL boxes all the way down the page, maybe 200+ of them ?
