Keeping running totals

Hi,

I wonder if someone could help me with this:

My spreadsheet keeps simple statistics of how many calls are received
in a given week ("B2"), the total for the month ("C2"), and an overall
total (which includes all calls since we started keeping track;
displayed in "E2").  

B2                C2           E2
Current        May         Overall
Week           Total        Total

5                  25           2500    

What I would like to happen is that the monthly and overall totals are
updated when I manually change the weekly number (i.e., a change in B2
makes appropriate changes in C2 and E2).  I can't seem to get around
the circular reference problem of adding something to an existing value
and displaying it in that same cell.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I would take a completely different approach. I would
have week 1 -52 in col A months Jan to Dec in col B-M
I would total the cols in row 53 and rows in  col N and a grand
total for the year in N53.
this way every time you enter a value for the week the totals will
update and the values will be stored for future reference.
You can look back at the activity by week or chart it, what ever.

Thank you for your help - I will probably try that method.   I had
"inherited" this format from a previous administrator (who had updated
every column and row manually) and was trying to add some actual
spreadsheet functions to make life easier.  Thanks again.
