425.00       875.00  (G10+H9)

I have to type in the formula in H each time I make an entry in G in order
to get H to complete. If I drag the auto complete down it fills in the last
entry all down the column, which I don't want to happen. Why doesn't excel
recognise what I'm at and just fill in column H for me? Although the above
example only shows four entries, it's the same after seven. The Autocomplete
box is ticked.
Help anyone?  - Gatsby

Thanks for answering Gord.
Automatic is ticked and this still is happening. It seems to be only when
I'm doing accumulating that this problem arises. Any other ideas on how to
solve it? I'd appreciate it.

Change your formula to read =IF(G12="","",H11+G12), and drag all the way
down.  This way, H will remain blank until G gets a value.  In your scenario,
H12 will show a value, but H13 will remain blank until you enter a value in
G13

Kassie, that's working! Thanks very much for helping me. I've spent hours
trying to get around it, wondering what was wrong? Have you any idea why 'my
way' doesn't work? Thanks again.

That's a pleasure Gatsby!  'Your way' doen't work because something plus
nothing is still something!

I see now, Kassie. Thanks again. The formula you gave me has made entering
the wages so much easier. When I looked up Conditional Formatting they seemed
to be referring to how to change colours depending on values. They should
have written pages especially for ME. (HeHe).

Sorry I missed all the fun, but it sounds like you are cruising now!
