There are a few ways of doing it. Say for example you have a list of numbers in the cells from A2 to A15, and you want to show a running total in column B. The formula in B2 will simply be:
=A2
In B3 you would want to add the total in B2 to the next value in A3, so you would have the following formula:
=B2+A3
That formula could then be copied down through all the cells to B15, giving you a running total.
Another way of doing it is using absolute references. You would put the following formula in B2 and copy it all the way down to B15:
=SUM(A$2:A2)
As it is copied down the A$2 will remain the same, but the A2 will change. So in each formula, you are summing always starting from A2 but down to the current row. This gives you a running total.
An electronic spreadsheet.
In a spreadsheet a built-in formula is called a function.

A formula.
A value. IN a spreadsheet, it's either a value or a formula.
Type = (equal sign) to begin a formula on a spreadsheet.
A formula in IT may be the instructions put into a spreadsheet to process the data stored on the spreadsheet. Or, it may mean the method used to use Information Technology correctly.
A formula. It can also be a function.
It is a query that can sum up values and show totals, rather than individual records with their amounts. A query cannot show both the individual values and totals, like in a report or in a spreadsheet, so to find totals they have to be in separate queries to ones that list actual values.
the sum.
