Thanks, ...you guys are awesome !

It depends on the layout of your data ...

Post a small sample workbook and show us where you want your running total to show.

So in each row, I have customer name, job name, due date and price. I would like to keep a running total of the prices that I manually enter in the price column. There are no associated formulas, I just type the prices in manually in that column. (sorry)....does that answer your question? I just need a simple running total of all items in "column F".
Will you please attach a sample Excel workbook? We are not able to work with or manipulate a description of one.
1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.
2. Make sure that your desired solution is also shown (mock up the results manually).
3. Make sure that all confidential data is removed or replaced with dummy data first (e.g. names, addresses, E-mails, etc.).
4. Try to avoid using merged cells as they cause lots of problems.
Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.
Please pay particular attention to point 2 (above): without an idea of your intended outcomes, it is often very difficult to offer appropriate advice.
As per your comment "simple running total". If your price in "D" column
In "F2" formula
copy paste down.Formula:

see if this sample screen shot helps. I don't care where the total is displayed, as long as I don't have to keep updating it manually every time I add a new job.

You could put the below in cell F2 and copy down further than you need.

Or you could turn the whole range into a table use the SUM part of that formula in column F.
Using a table will copy the formula down automatically as you add new rows of data.
