    Running Total for a Column in a single cell

    Hi.
    I'm trying to figure out how I can have a single cell update to a new total of a column on a separate worksheet. I've been trying =sum('worksheet 2'!D:D) However, when I check the total, it's coming up a couple of hundred dollars off. The idea is to show when I charge something or make a credit card payment, I want a net worth sheet to update that account in a single box with the new total balance.
    Thanks.
    Cheers,
    Chuck

    I believe that you will require a VBA solution for this. If this is acceptable to you, then post back and we will provide it. It will fall under a worksheet change event.

    I am a little confused. =sum(D:D) should work. Are you typing in the charges or payments in column D of Worksheet2?
    are Calculation options set to AUTOMATIC under the Formulas ribbon?

    Hi Eagle hater and welcome to the forum,

    I think a Dynamic Named Range will solve your problem without needing VBA. See the attached where I've created a DNR on the Transactions sheet and summed it on the first sheet.

    Sum using DNR.xlsx
