    Hi,

    In B1 put = A1
    In B2 put = B1 + A2
    Then grab the lower right corner handle of B2 and pull it down.

    See http://www.jegsworks.com/Lessons/num...tofilldata.htm

    Just to to show the different options in Excel.
    You can also use =SUM(A$1:A1), in cell B1. $ lock's the formula to row 1, if you copy it up or down.
    If you would use $A$1 it would also lock the formula from moving left/right.
