I am trying to create a calculated columns in a SP list to show a running total of data from other columns. I am doing this in excel and it works exactly as I need it to, but I cannot find anything on how to set this up in SP. Here is an example of the excel sheet.

excel sheet

The Submitted and Fail data is summed in columns H and I as a running total. This is what I cannot duplicate in the SP list. The rest of the columns I was able to create and work as expected. Columns H and I are a necessary requirement. As I add the information into column F and G, I drag the formulas in the other columns down to the next row and everything calculates.

Any help or guidance on this would be greatly appreciated!!
