    Excel question....

    How would I do a running total for deposits into a saving plan so that i can see the increment for each month? I can do it but its a pain...I need add each preceding cell from when the plan started. I know there is always a better method. Thank in advance.

    If your put your deposits on row 1 and the total on row 2 then in cell A2 type in =A1
    You can get a running total by typing in the following to cell B2. =a2+b1
    Then copy cell B2 to the right for as many cells as you need.

    Are you making multiple deposits during a month and looking for a subtotal showing each months increment, or are you looking for a running total since inception? (or both)

    Try this:

    The following are column headings:

    Column A Row 1 -- Date
    Column B Row 1 -- Deposit Amount
    Column C Row 1 -- Earnings.
    Column D Row 1 -- Balance

    Formulas all in column D

    Row 2 Enter this formula in cell D2 B2+C2
    Row 3 Enter this formula in cell D3 = D2+B3+C3
    Row 4 Enter this formula in cell D4 D3+B4+C4

    Copy and paste the formula from cell D4 to all rows
