I don't understand the references to a conditional statement and the reference to 0. But, to create a running balance, you just use a sum with the first cell anchored. For example, assume entries are in the first column, A starting at A1, and you want the running total in column B starting at B1. B1 would have the formula =sum($a$1:a1). Then copy this formula into the cells below B1, and you will have a running total of the numbers in column A. Try it and you will see how it works.
b1 has =sum($a$1:a1) b2 has =sum($a$1:a2) b3 has =sum($a$1:a3) and so on.
