on excel how do i get a cell to continuously add to the total of another cell?
eg
WHEN 5 IS TYPED INTO CELL A1
B1 SHOWS THE TOTAL
cell A1 =5
cell B1 =5 (would have formula =sum(a1+b1) but this dont work as when a1 changes so does the total)i want the total to be cummulative.
Now i want to type somthing else in cell A1 and it to add onto the total in B1
eg
A1 =1
B1 =6
i cant find the formula to do this
sum=(add to total or somthing)

Ug...
Brain don't wanna work
Has it got to update automatically? I'm just thinking it'd be dead easy to do a lil macro to hold the figure in a variable and clear the cell? Then you could just assign it to a keyboard shortcut and run it - often
Um, can't think of another way at the mo
