To be honest, I'm kind of new to this forum and just learning my way around.
Kassie has apparently been most helpful to you as has Gord. These guys are
vastly superior to my humble abilities and perhaps one of them will weigh in
and answer your question. For my part, I don't quite understand the current
question, but stand willing to help in any way possible. To that end, I have
two suggestions: First, do another post being more specific as to what the
input and output are and why the formulas are not working. And two, you
might submit your post to the category of Excel"Worksheet Functions" in
addition to this room. Please don't consider this latter suggestion as
diversionary-- I just think you might be depriving yourself of a valuable
resource in the folks that regularly help over in the "Worksheet Functions"
room in which I have gained many helpful tips. I would like to stress that
the people who offer help in all these communities are top notch. I feel
guilty that I help so little and gain so much from people like Kassie, Gord,
and many others! Thanks to all.

Thanks, Yacbo!
I still get stuck. Kassie has been a great help, though. I still have
problems in other columns with them being filled in all the way down with
'incorrect' figures until I make an entry. When I make an entry it corrects
the figure in the adjacent cell to which it refers but the rest, all the way
down should not be there. It drives me mad. It doesn't happen with the
Formula Kassie gave me, though (=IF(G9="","",H10+G9). Can I call on you guys
again or will I drive you all mad?

I have to type in the formula in H each time I make an entry in G in order
to get H to complete. If I drag the auto complete down it fills in the last
entry all down the column, which I don't want to happen. Why doesn't excel
recognise what I'm at and just fill in column H for me? Although the above
example only shows four entries, it's the same after seven. The Autocomplete
box is ticked.
Help anyone? - Gatsby
