The values you gave in Column B do not match the formula you said you want
in Column B. The values you put in Column B are derived by adding the values
in Column A from A1 to the row you are on; in other words, this formula
placed in B1 and copied down...
=SUM(A$1:A1)
However, to implement the formula relationship you said you wanted
(B5=A5+B1+B2+B3+B4), you would have to use these formulas in the indicated
cells...
B1: =A1
B2: =A2+SUM(B$1:B1)
and copy the formula in B2 down. When you do this, the formula relationship
you said you wanted would have produced the following data instead of what
you posted...
A B
1 1
1 2
3 6
2 11
4 24
So, which did you really want?

Hi,
Say I have this:
A B
1 1
1 2
3 5
2 7
4 11.....and so on
How can I produce column B (e.g., B5=A5+B1+B2+B3+B4)?
Thanks,
Mike
