I am trying to set set up a personal finance data base on works 2000 spreadsheet.
How do i get a running total for each line, at the moment only the fisrt line calculates.
Right now i have =B1+C1+D1+E1. F1 being total

OK, best way to do this is with the SUM command.
In cell F1 enter this:
=SUM(B1:E1)
Oh, and can some kind mod move this to the correct forum?
OR use the funny looking E to drag all needed cells into a sum - as long as they are in a line (either row or column). Just click on the funny looking E and then click and drag down your row or column until just next to the total cell and press enter.
.......and once you have done as suggested above - if you need the same calculation for rows 2,3,4,5.......
You can just 'copy' F1 to f2,f3, etc.
Excel will copy the formula rather than the cell contents, unless you state otherwise.

Or Highlight the block and CTRL+D to copy down or CTRL R to copy right.
Or just give up and stare at Alexandras avatar pic all day :shock:
