Hi
It is considered very rude to use CAPITALS for a post. Take a chill pill! If
you want a running total in an adjacent column you can do this by adding the
new figure to the previous total. If you want an accumulator have a look
here:

This will involve some VBA, though.
Hope this helps.

Hi

No good getting angry and shouting at the world!

If you are working in column A1, then insert the following formula in Col B1

=IF(A1="","",A1)

Now enter the following formula in B2, and copy it down as far as you want
to go

IF(OR(A2="",B1=""),"",B1+A2)

Type your figures into column A, and you will have a running total in col B

We don't use caps lock when posting queries, it is considered rude
