I am trying to add a group of numbers together until I reach a 0 in a cell; however, I am starting with the last number in a column and going in reverse.

[TABLE="width: 10"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]100[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]200[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]300[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]0[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]450[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]200[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]600[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

i.e. I would like to start with the last number (600) and add until I reach a zero (600+200+450). Can someone help me? Thank you.

Formula in C2
=SUM(INDEX(A2:A8,LOOKUP(2,1/(A2:A8=0),ROW(A2:A8)-ROW(A2)+1)):A8)

Hope this helps
