Hi there,

Presuming 1234 as in A1 and B1, then the formula:

=B1+A2

entered into B2 will give you 4690.

If you then go to cell B2 and use the menu item Edit / Copy (a little square
should appear around cell B2). Move the cursor to B3 and with the left
mouse button down drag the formula down as far as needed. Release the mouse
and use the menu for Edit / Paste. Your formula should propagate down as
needed.

BTW there are other ways of doing this, but this way is nice and easy!
