Cumulative sum with data in unequal increments

[Chris88kemp]

Dear All,

I would like to calculate the cumulative volume of liquid from a pipe over the period of 22 years. Data has been given on a daily basis, however in some instances this covers multiple days.

The format of the native data is as follows:

DAY	LIQUID RATE, M3/D	CUMULATIVE VOLUME, M3
1	202	= 202
2	210	= 210 + 202
3	215	= 215 + 210 + 202
13	280	= 280 + (215 * (13 - 3)) + 210 + 202
30	330	= 330 + (280 * (30 - 13))+ (215 * (13 - 3)) + 210 + 202
etc	etc	etc

<tbody>
</tbody>

The issue starts on day 3 where the daily flowrate of 215 continues through to day 13, which then increases to 280 per day until day 30.

Does anyone know how this can be neatly calculated in a formula which I can replicate down. The data has 10,000 + rows so adding intermediate rows to cover each individual days is impractical.

Thanks in advance
