    Hi and welcome to the forum

    Without seeing a sample of what you are working with, its hard to offer detailed suggestions, but I cant see why the method you used before, wont work now?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Cool Re: How to create a running balance in excel 11.

    I have attached a workbook. The first few lines I have copied and pasted . You can see it creates a running balance. But in new excel ,11 the last two lines you see it doesnt create a balance.

    If you mean H8:H9, thats because those 2 cells are empty? Copy the formula down to them

    Re: How to create a running balance in excel 11.

    In G7, you have this formula...
    =(IF(ISNUMBER(G6), G6, 0) + F7) - (E7 + 0)
    but In G8 downwards, the cells are blank/empty. In order for the calc to continue down, there needs to be a formula that to do the calc.
    I suggest you change the formula to this...
    =IF(B2="","",IF(ISNUMBER(G1),G1,0)+F2-E2)
    Copy that and paste it into G2.
    Then look at the bottom-right corner of that cell, you will see a small black "square". Click and hold on that, and *drag* down to well below where your data ends - that will copy it down for you. The modification I made will hide the answer is the cell in column B is empty
