Calculating cumulative percentage
 

I have a column of data with percentages of the total in the next column. I
now want to add a third column that shows the cumulative percentage of the
total. Something like:
1 2 3
A 10 10% 10%
B 20 20% 30%
C 30 30% 60%
D 40 40% 100%

What formula should I use to calculate the values for the third column?

Thanks for your help.

oh, of course!
Now I'm curious...what if I hadn't already calculated each percentage and
only wanted the cumulative figure?

In B1 and dragged down

=(A1/(SUM(A$1:A$4)/100))

In B1:
=SUM(A$1:A1)/SUM(A:A)
Format B1 as percentage, copy down.
