Sum up the results inside a FOR loop

[makiwara]

Hi! I have a code but it doesn't do what It should :D

For h = 0 To k  'lets suppose from 1 to 4


        capital = 400 * 3 ^ h 
        ossz = 0 + capital
        Next

I would like to sum up 400, 1200, 3600, and 10800, but the "ossz" variable is always the latest value of capital. So at the end of the loop it's 3600, instead of 16.000

Thank you for your help! Have a nice day!

Try changing the red highlighted line of code to this...

ossz = ossz + capital

so that each new calculated capital value is added to the total of the previous capital values.
