Microsoft Excel Question

mdart · 06-29-2009, 03:57 PM

I'm creating a mileage log and want to enter the total miles for the day and have the spreadsheet calculate the beginning and ending mileage. Can you tell me what formula to use so I can copy the formula for the whole year?

Example:

Jan 1st 57 miles beg - 32,500 ending - 32,557
Jan 2nd 30 miles beg - 32,557 ending - 32,587

Thanks for the help!

Hi mdart,

It's not clear from your post how the data are laid out (ie which parts are in a given column). If you could explain that, you'll have a better chance of being helped.

Okay, sorry that was not clear...here are the columns

Date------miles per day----beginning miles---ending miles

Jan 1st------57 miles----------32,500---------32,557

Jan 2nd------30 miles----------32,557---------32,587
