I want to set up excel so I have three columns, debits, credits and balance.
How do I make it so that it will add or subtract the amount and give me the
proper balance each time?

Thank you

Steven

Steven, here is one way, payments starting in E3, deposits starting in F3,
starting balance in G2, put this in G3 and copy down
=(IF(OR(E3,F30), OFFSET(G3,-1,0)- E3+F3,""))
I have a workbook set up for this if you would like to take a look at it let
me know your address and I will send you a copy, you may also want to have
a look here http://officeupdate.microsoft.com/templategallery/ Microsoft has
one but when I tried to find it I got "Error: Access is Denied", there site
might be down right now

Yes, I would appreciate seeing your setup. To avoid spam, I just created a
throw away account in hotmail. Please use that. It is "mynewsgrps at hotmail

Ok, please explain to me what the date has to do with the balance? It looks
very good, but that one puzzles me. I guess I want an explanation of the
equation in "I". Also, why does nothing seem to reference i5 and i5 seems to
reference nothing. What is it for? What is column "b" for? This is really
very nice, however, even when I protect the sheet, both the "show checkbook
form" and "sort transaction list" buttons do nothing. What are they supposed
to do?

Steven, this does not sound like the file I sent you, the one I sent does
not have any VBA in it, so no "show checkbook
form" and "sort transaction list" buttons. Did You get the file that I
sent?

Yes. I created that email address just to get your file, so you are the only
one who has written to it and that is the file you sent.

Hi

Sorry, but I jumped in there and sent you one I created as well. It should
have my name on it and iI did put my name on the email. It will not work
properly if you protect the sheet. If you have any questions, please email
me directly.

Ken

Well, I was not paying attention and yes, I got yours ken. I do not
appreciate you jumping in where not invited. I know you had good intentions,
but you still should have posted here first to ask if it was ok to send
yours.

Feel free to delete the a-mail.

been delivered. If not let me know and I will send it again.
