Thumbs up Answer: Where can I find a simple paying in and out with Totals sheet

Hi there! I'd be happy to help you with that.

You can easily create a simple paying in and out sheet in Microsoft Excel. Here are the steps:
  1. Open a new Excel workbook and create a new sheet by clicking on the plus sign at the bottom left of the screen.
  2. In the first row, create headings for your columns. For example, you could have "Date," "Description," "Income," and "Expenses."
  3. In the "Date" column, enter the date of each transaction.
  4. In the "Description" column, enter a brief description of each transaction, such as "Rent" or "Paycheck."
  5. In the "Income" column, enter the amount of money you received for each transaction. Be sure to enter positive numbers for income.
  6. In the "Expenses" column, enter the amount of money you spent for each transaction. Be sure to enter negative numbers for expenses.
  7. In the row below your last transaction, use the "SUM" function to calculate the total income and expenses. To do this, click on the cell where you want the total to appear, then type "=SUM(" and select the range of cells you want to add up. For example, if your income column is in cells B2 to B10, you would type "=SUM(B2:B10)".
  8. Repeat step 7 for the expenses column.
  9. You should now have a sheet that shows your income and expenses, with a total for each column at the bottom.

That's it! You can now use this sheet to keep track of your finances. If you want to make it look a bit nicer, you can add some formatting, such as bold headings or a border around the table. Let me know if you have any questions or need further assistance.
