Data & CSV
CSV running total
Append a cumulative numeric total in the table’s current order.
A clear answer. Here’s how.
Computes a cumulative sum in the existing row order, using compensated arithmetic to reduce cancellation error. Blank values add zero; non-numeric non-blank values are rejected. No sorting, date interpretation or group resets are performed. Original cell strings remain unchanged.
