Firstly, can I assume that C1 contains text - i.e. a column heading?

If so, then the formula

  =3DSUM(C1,A2,-B2)

in C2 will treat C1 as zero and give you the correct starting total in C2.

Then simply copy/paste this down column C.  Excel will update the cell=20
references for you in the normal way.

Don't copy/paste the formula text, copy/paste the whole cell.

Regards, Dave S
