Dear Orgmoders:

I would like to use org-mode spreadsheet for my small business.  I would
like to have some type of ledger with running balance.

I have done this sort of calculation with many spreadsheets
e.g. OpenOffice Calc, but I am not able to do so with org-mode.

This is what I would like to set up:

| Date  | Debit/Credit | Balance |
|-------+--------------+---------|
| day 1 | -10.00       |    -10  |
| day 2 |  50.00       |     40  |
| day 3 | -20.00       |     20  |
| day 4 |  40.00       |     60  |

and so on.

I tried the following in cell @2$3 :  =$2 + @-1$2  but that does not
work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Henri-Paul

The following seems to work for me:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* balance
| Date  | Debit/Credit | Balance |
|-------+--------------+---------|
| Start |              |    0.00 |
| day 1 |       -10.00 |  -10.00 |
| day 2 |        50.00 |   40.00 |
| day 3 |       -20.00 |   20.00 |
| day 4 |        40.00 |   60.00 |
  #+TBLFM: $3=$2+@-1;%.2f::@2$3=0;%.2f
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Alternatively, use babel with ledger if you want a full accounting
