Get a Previous Cells value and add it to current cell

Hi Brian,If i want get a cells value & then add it to the preious cell and keep on populating a column like that. Would it be possible ? For eg. in MS Excel, the same formula would like this = Coln A | Coln B| Coln C| 12               2             22               4            coln C = 12 + 4 = 16  ----- i.e. -->   A1 + B2 = C2                                                                                                A2 + B3 = C3                                                                                                       etc.In excel it is possible to do this due to cell references. But will i be able to do it in IDEA, which works with columns & not cells ?
 
A1 + B2 = C2
A2 + B3 = C3
A3+B4=C4
 
etc.... how do i populate a column C like that ^

Hi Rahul, just want to make sure that this is the same question that you sent to CaseWare?  I just want to make sure it got answered.

Thanks

I'd like to do the same. I've already learned how to capture and verify the value of the current cell I'm observing, however I'd like to change a previous cell based on that information. However, I don't know what to do.
