XL Reporter - Cumlative Running Total

Question

Hi All
I'm running XL Reporter on SBO and trying to place a excel formula to have a running total against a sales spread sheet, but it isn't working and i wonder if any of you people could help me?
i'll show what im trying to achieve, Items and Row Total are taken from SBO so id like a column beside Row Total to add the 640
R
O      (Column A)                                            (Column B)                        (Column C)
W    Items                                           Row Total                           Cumlative Total ( What i need)
1    =ixDimGet("DVD Cases")          =ixGet("640.00")                     640                 +B1
2    =ixDimGet("Blank DVD")          =ixGet("340.00")                     980                 B2C1
3    =ixDimGet("Manuals")          =ixGet("795.00")                     1775               B3C2
4    =ixDimGet("Reg Cards")          =ixGet("1437.33")                    3212.33          B4C3
The result that returns is just the value of Column B and the row total.  If have tried everything but to no avail.
Hope this makes sense
Thanks in Advance.

Answer 1

Hi
If I understood you correctly this is how you do it:
=IF(D7="Row Total",D8,SUM($D$8:D8))
I assumed that you will have a column header just above your first value in the expanding rows, so the first value of the running total will be equal to the value of the 1st row in your report. The $ signs will anchor the first value in D8 and the second D8 without the $ signs will expand with your rows.
