Formula for cumulative total

[Guest]

Is there a way to write a cumulative formula so when it is copied across a
row it sums the prior data in another row? For example:

Oct-04 Nov-04 Dec-04 Jan-05 Feb-05 Mar-05 Apr-05
100

Dave,

Assuming that row 1 is your headers, Oct-04, Nov-04 etc, and that row
2 is a quantity, 100, 120, etc
then in cell A3 put
=sum($a2:a2)
and formula-drag that across the row.

Hi,
Supposing that the column headers (i.e., months) are in Row 1 (starting at
Column A), and the data (e.g., 100 under Oct-04) are in Row 2, enter the
following formula in A3,
=SUM($A$2:A2)
and drag the formula across Row 3 to as many columns as you want. The
cumulative totals will show up in Row 3.

Could you be more specific about what is in addresses and data that you want to
sum and the address for the sum formula.-
