I am trying to add a group of numbers together until I reach a 0 in a cell; however, I am starting with the last number in a column and going in reverse.

100
200
300
0
450
200
600

<tbody>
</tbody>

i.e. I would like to start with the last number (600) and add until I reach a zero (600+200+450). Can someone help me? Thank you.
