I'm trying to figure out how to add 1 + 3 and then keep adding three to the sum?

I am curious how to make that work, I've tried all kinds of formulas and now I just want to know to know.

1+3 = 4 then 4+3 = 7

I want to keep it running..

Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
How? Where? When?
Please explain exactly how you want this to work.
Do you just want to have a number in some certain cell, and run a macro add 3 every time it runs?

That's what I'm trying to figure out

I have 1 in the first cell, and I have 3 in the next cell and it equals 4 and I'm trying to find a way to add 3 to every sum. So 1+3 = 4 .. then 4+3 is 7 .. then 7+3 is 10 .. I was curious if this was possible.

If you have 1 in cell A1, then you could enter this formula in cell B1:
=A1+3

Then, if you copy the formula in cell B1 across row 1, it will increase by 3 each time.

Is that what you are after?
