formula is not adding

What would be the formula to enter in order to add column C8 to and have d8 accumulate D8? and keep adding for example if work 70 hours first week to date c8 and d8 would represent hours worked to date?

thank you!

      thank you Patrick...I want to create a spreadsheet that would represent a cheque stub this would alway have a column that would indicate the hours work up to and including the week cheque is issued for ....the info on the stub/spreadsheet would also have the money paid to date...column A would be amount received but column b would be the amount received to date,
  • Yes...sorry it is a bit confusing.....if you want Column a accumulate into Column b...

    worked 35 hours first week then column b would have the total amount of hours worked ???

      Your first post:

      After being asked for clarification, you wrote:

      So now, let me ask that you clarify the relationship between the two posts. You make NO reference to. columns A and B in your first, so how that clarified anything is beyond me.

       

      How about describing the task solely in words, without reference to columns or cells. Let those of us who know Excel do the translation into rows and columns and formulas; you just describe in words the task:

      • what information are you collecting?
      • what does it represent?
      • what outcome are you looking for?

    Could you provide a more complete description of the task you're seeking to accomplish? What you've written is difficult, at best, to follow with any confidence.
