I want to do a new entry in column A monthly. I want it to continuously add to column B. I am stumped. For example, column B is 12 and I enter 4 in column A, I want column B to automatically change to 16. Thanks

    Thank you. I will give that a try. I enter column A monthly so I have it saved to refer back to Column B. I have it save in a file plus a paper copy. Thanks again and have a blessed evening.

    That is a dangerous approach:

    • You don't have a history of what was entered.
    • Mistakes are difficult to correct.

    I'd enter each new entry in a new row in column A, and use a formula in column B to display the running sum.

    The formula in B2 is =SUM(A2, B1). This can be filled down.
