    sure,

    hope you know how to Copy&Paste

    use the obvious SUM() function....but remember to make A1 "absolute" by using $

    copy&paste this in B2

    =SUM($A$1:B1)

    you should get the A1+B1 result

    - B2

    - select a bunch of cell to the right of B2

    - click paste

    done

    the $ means that the cell is anchored and will not change....but the 2nd cell will be changing.

    let me know how it works.
