Hello, we are doing a weight loss contest and trying to figure out a formula to do the math. We need a formula that will figure the cumulative pounds lost or gained and the cumulative total percentage of bodyweight lost or gained. Thanks for your help!

presuming your sheet look like this

Col A Col B COL C
WEEK LOSS
week 1 -10
week 2 -14
week 3 0
week 4 1


you can use in Col C formula as

=IF(ISNUMBER(C1),C1+B2,B2)

Col A Col B COL C
WEEK LOSS Week Cumm
week 1 -10 -10
week 2 -14 -24
week 3 0 -24
week 4 1 -23
0
