Hello
I need to have a running total expense column on my smartsheet for budgetary checks. Can someone help me with a solution please? I would like a column that updates with a cumulative $ after I enter an expense amount in another existing column.
Thanking you in advance.
Lawrie.
Hi Lawrie,
Do you only want to sum everything in the other column or by different categories or something else?
Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)
Have a fantastic day!
Best,

Try something like this and add the formula at the first row in the Cumulative Cost column where the Amount starts and drag down as long as you need.
=SUM(Amount$1:Amount@row)The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.=SUM(Amount$1:Amount@row)Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.
Did it work?
Hope that helps!
Glad we got it working!
Have a fantastic week!

I hope you're well and safe!
Excuse the late response.
Yes, I think so. I think I've seen a workaround to make it work.
I'll get back to the post when I find it.
Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

All of the formulas I have tried have only gotten me so far as the "AND". Adding in the dates screws it up. The goal is to determine if…
I am getting a lot of REF errors for my predecessors and I can't figure out why. At first I thought I might have REF for predecessors to predecessors but that's not the case. When I export the file into Excel it shows the IDs in the place where it shows REF in SS. Each time I refresh the file I feel like different values…
I am trying to create a sheet summary, where the field is a formula that relies on a contact card within a column. However, it keeps returning a result of "#NO MATCH". The columns involved are, 1:) Priority (symbol column) for Up, Unchanged, and Down, and 2:) Contact Card column. I am trying to get a sheet summary formula…
