Calculate every running balance with SCAN

Your goal: Start from an explicit opening balance and return the state after each signed entry, in source order.

Full task requirements

Enter one SCAN formula in G5 to return eight balances in G5:G12. Start with opening balance G2 and add C2:C9 in source order. Each output is the balance after that entry, not just the final total.

Balance after entry 1

Select the source cells in the worksheet, then enter your prediction below.

Rules for this step

Keep G2 and the inclusive prefix of signed changes ending at this entry. Every change is processed, including zero; the final balance alone is not a running report.
