Excel Running Sum / Running Total / Cumulative Total


 S  M  L  XL  FS  |  Slo  Reg  Fast  2x  |  Bookmark Join Now

In this Excel tutorial, I will show you how to calculate a running sum (also called a running total or running balance) and a running average in your spreadsheets using simple formulas and autofill with absolute references. You will learn both the quick and detailed methods for setting up these calculations, how to handle common errors, and why absolute references are important for correct results.

Spencer from Mississauga, Ontario (a Platinum Member) asks: I have a simple spreadsheet that tracks invoices for a customer. I added a new column to calculate the running average of all the invoices. Is there a way to write a formula that I can drag down the column, so it automatically adjusts for each row?
