So in A1, I would like to add the total of all cells in COL B.

The thing I'd like to do however is be able to edit COL B again with fresh sets of info, but A1's previous data does not change. Kind of like locking in A1's results so I can move on to A2, enter data in COL B to recount the new data, and lock those results in A2. and so on.

I have no idea what functions would do this, or if it's even possible. Just checking with the pros to give me guidance. Thank you.

Thank you. Do you have any suggestions of a better way of inputting data into COL A automatically? As of now, I'm thinking just keep the formula as is, after it calculates all, retype the number in the cell, effectively removing the formula.

Describe to us your requirements and what you're trying to achieve in the real world and we can probably provide a solution. Is VBA an option for you?
