    How to convert a series of % changes into whole value?

    I'm a not very advanced excel user, trying to figure something out.

    In my attached spreadsheet, I want to take $10 and have it follow the daily returns listed on column D. Each day would add or subtract a % of the previous day's total. I did a couple calculations manually to show what I mean. Thanks for any help you can give!

    Welcome to the forum.

    Try this copied down:

    =$C$2+(SUM(D$3:D3)*10)

    This seems close, but slightly off. For E5 it is giving me $10.89 and my hand calculations are giving me $10.91 and I think it snowballs from there.

    It looks like this works, but is there an easier way to fill it down the column than dragging it? Thanks!

    Once you have entered the formula into cell E4 double click the fill handle for that cell and Excel should automatically fill down as far as the last row in column D that has a value.
    Let us know if you have any questions.
