I think I need to declare a variable.

Because as it sits would be like this:

A1 = 50    B1 = [blank]
A2 = 75    B2 = 125
A3 = 100  B3 = 225
A4 = 125  B4 = n
How can I compute the next blank cell in col B using the value of the current cell of col A + the previous of col B?

Set the next blank cell in Col B as "= (A3+B2)" and repeat growth trend.

 Was going to say reference it without the "$" and it should move down the column plus write a new formula

Yep yep.  The sad part is, I own my own business as a website developer, I know and LOVE php, html, javascript, and css but for the life of me I never played around with Excel.

I'm convinced someone could work with it a lifetime and never learn all of its capabilities. I have written several formulas 6-8 lines long for payroll calculations etc. The challenge is kind of fun getting the formula to work. Once you get it though it's nice to make calculators for mortgage or car payments or retirement accts. I think the key is to learn well above the level you plan to use it and then everything seems pretty basic.

I love it! I use several "back pages" that when data is entered it automatically adjusts the "cover page"
You can pretend it's taken ages to produce documents etc when it can do it all for you  ;D
