Hi, Nigel. You could perhaps use: =if(now()b2,c2,0) (where b2 is your date
and c2 is your amount due.
For the sheet tab, try this, but I think it'd be a pretty tough formula to
make it work with the above:

Hi,
i need to make my chart add figures into a running cost as certain dates
of
the month arise. example:
a cost of £10.00 due on 13th Sept will not show until 13th september. Can
this be acheived using formulas or do i need to look at macros?
here is my chart i am trying to calculate. there is a column named DATE
which has the number of day only. what need is , when the day in the month
reaches that day, add the figure directly to the right onto a monthly
cost. i
though that if i added the day to the month ( from the sheet name ) it
will
always be correct so, can you get a formula to read a sheet name too? my
current sheet name is September.
