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

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
