reset to zero

i need to keep a running total of a random series of numbers in a column and when a zero appears i need it reset to zero and start counting again from the next number, hope i explained this as easy as possible? thanks for any help.

Assuming that your numbers are in column A, in cell B1 put
=A1

in cell B2 put
=if(A2=0,0,B1+A2)

and formula-copy that to the end of your numbers.

Hi!

Assume the numbers are in the range A1:An

Enter this formula in B1:

=(A1>0)*1

Enter this formula in B2 and copy down as needed:

=IF(A2=0,0,B1+1)

I thought they wanted a count.

Well, either way we got it covered!
