I am having trouble getting a formula to calculate fy to date and project to
date.
I need the cells to have a running total month to month.  I have tried the
following:
Current Month         Fy to Date         Project to Date
                          =Sum(A1+B2)     =Sum(B2+6248)
This formula will work for that row.  But when I input different information
in the next row or use the enter key it adds that amount to cell B2.  Any
explanations or help would be greatly appreciated as I have tried every thing
I know.

It's hard for me to tell exactly what you're trying to do, since I don't
know what cells A1 and B2 represent.

Couple of suggestions:

1) using both SUM() and + isn't necessary - you can use either

   =A1 + B2

or

   =SUM(A1,B2)

2) If you have something like:

       A          B               C           D
1     Month       Amount      FY To date    Project to Date
2    January       100          =B2         =B2+6248
3    February      150

Then one way would be to use

C2:         =IF(B3<>"",B3 + C1,"")
D2:         =IF(B3<>"",B3 + D1,"")

which you can then copy down as far as necessary.

If that's not what you're doing, post back with more detail.

Thanks for the suggestions.  This is a spread sheet that keeps track of
safety and safety hours.  In one row I need hours next row would be injuries.
This is what the columns are:
                A                             B                         C
         Current Month            FY to Date          Project to date
(carried year to year)

My project to date is 6248.  When I put an amount in Current month I need it
to carry over and add to B and C.  When I get it to add correctly, and i
enter amount in the next row under current month it adds it to the first rows
b and c.  I need these rows to all be seperate.  Any help would be appreciated
