How to create running total using Excel table structured references?

Question

I\'m looking for a way to create a running total (total of the current row and above) using Excel table structured references.

I know how to do it using the old row/colu

Answer 1

=SUM(OFFSET([WTaskUnits],0,0,ROW()-ROW([[#Headers],[Running Total]])))

The table has two columns [WTaskUnits] and [Running Total]. The formula above sums the range of cells as requested.

The first arguments of the OFFSET function define the starting point of the sum. The fourth term,

ROW()-ROW([[#Headers],[Running Total]]

is a useful idiom for the number of the current row in the table.
