[Tfug] oo.org spreadsheet formula question.

Spreadsheets are things I need to use rarely but when I need them, I
*really* need them.
I have a spreadsheet tracking regular contributions to an investment.
I have a column (C) like this:
C
--
(Row 1) 100.00
(Row 2) 100.00
(Row 3) 100.00
(Row 4) 150.00
(Row 5) 100.00
I want column D to be a running total from the first value just up to
that specific row, so that D2 would read $200, D3 would read $300, D4
would read $450.00 and so on.
I have been here 2 hours now trying to figure out how to do that without
having to enter specific cells in the =SUM() formula. I'd hate to have
to use (for example) in row D2:
=SUM(C1:C2)
And then in D3
=SUM(C1:C3)
I'd like to have something like
=SUM(C1:C(thisrownumber))
I cannot figure out how to do this. Does anyone have any experience
with this?
=CELL("ADDRESS") without any more arguments returns me something close
to what I am looking for but I have no idea how to incorporate this into
a =SUM() formula.
Any help would be appreciated.
