Default I want the first cell of a column to be a running bal for that col

Hi!

I am trying to set up a worksheet where I have different columns for each
area in a budget (ie "Food", "entertainment", "security", etc)

Column A&B = Date and decription of each item
Row 1: Budget areas listed above

Now I have done the "freeze frame" command so that no matter where I scroll,
I ca always see Row #1. I would like to have a running balance for each
column that I could also see no matter where in the worksheet I am.

For Example, C1 = "Food"
C2 = a running balance for how much is left in the food budget
C3 - C(really big number) would be where I enter money spent on food, or
donations to the food budget, and C2 would automatically update to tell me
the current balance

I hope I explained this okay. I'm not married to the idea of setting it up
exactly like this, if there is a better way. I just want to be able to have a
running balance for each budget area that I can easily see without having to
scroll all over the place.

Thanks in advance!
