I am putting together a budget sheet for a friend, I would like to
combine the budget template from MS's website and the Check book ledger
template. I have added a category column to the ledger sheet. I want to
budget sheet to search for these categories and bring back a total.
Say, they have 3 entries for groceries, I want the budget sheet to
total these three entries.

How do I write a formula that totals all the lines that say groceries
in it. I have too many categories for a large if statment.

Thanks for the help.
