What is the formula used to keep track of totals for a column?
I saw somewhere that you could keep track of the totals in a column such as
100|100 200|300 300|600 400|1000 500|1500 I was wondering what the formula for that was and if it could keep track if you used negatives by subtracting it from the total. |

What is the formula used to keep track of totals for a column?
Maybe I am missing something, but it is just
=SUM(A1:A100) which manages negative numbers -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Arenlor" wrote in message ...

Assuming you data is in A1:A6
In B1 =A1 In B2 =B1+A2 and copy down the column negative values look after themselves try it! -- Bernard V Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "Arenlor" wrote in message ...

What is the formula used to keep track of totals for a column?
You could either calculate each cell as the sum of the cell above and the
cell left or the sum of all cells in the prior column through the current row. If the data starts in A1, then for the first approach, in B1: =a1. And in B2: =b1+a2. Autofill that formula down. If the data is in column A, then for the second approach, in B1: =sum(A$1:a1). Autofill that formula down.
