Circular reference help
Hello, this should be an easy question for a Friday.
I am trying to add weekly time spent on a task cell value to an actual time by task cell. The circular reference occurs because, obviously I am referencing the actual time by task cell and wanting the weekly time to automatically add to the total already in the actual time by task cell.
Column - Time spent by task
Cell value - 8
Column - Actual time spent by task
cell value - running total of weekly cell value for the life of the project
Is this possible or is the result always going to be a circular reference?
Sorry for the noob question. Thank you for the help in advance.

I'm not sure I understand exactly what it is you are trying to accomplish.

I am trying to track the total of the weekly time spent on a task (column - Designer Weekly Time by Task) in a cell that adds the time spent by week to itself (column - total time spent by task) resulting in a total time by task. Rather than having the total be a manual input.
Designer weekly time by task + total time by task = new total time by task.

So you want a running total of the individual rows, or is the total adjusted weekly on the same row every week?
