I am assuming you want this to follow down a column.

Assume the numbers are in column E beginning in row 1 through row 4, and assume you want the result in column F just to the right of the last number.

The content of cell F2 would be

  =IF(E2>1,F1+E2,F1-(1-E2))

and copy down the F column.

This says "if the value in cell E2 is > 1 then the value of cell F2 is equal to F1 + E2 else the value of cell F2 is equal to the value of cell F1 - (1 - the value of cell E2)
