need how to help in creating a formula

[David44010]

basically what I want to accomplish is a formula that will let me do ( x+y = y )

I want to accomplish this in 2 to 3 cells max

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 50, align: left"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]variable title[/TD]
[TD]a changing vairable[/TD]
[TD]end total[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]item 1[/TD]
[TD]n[/TD]
[TD]current total +n[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]item 2[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

we'll use excel notation and call them Cell A-1,2,3 and Row A,B,C

so Cell B2 will be a changing variable, a single count per a small cycle, reset at the end of the cycle, (ex: a daily count).
and Cell B3 will be the total of the current count of Cell B2 + the previous balance of B3, reset on a larger cycle, ( weekly count)

so for example day one would have a count of 5 in cell B2 and B3 would also have a count of 5
however day 2 would have a count of 3 in Cell B2 but Cell B3 would list a total of 8 ( B2 + B3 + Previous balance of B3)
so each time Cell B2 would change, cell B3 would just keep increasing until it is reset.

how can I accomplish this in just 2 active Cells, or with a hidden formula or code string located else where?

any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
