I am trying to put together a checkbook registry much like the Excel
Checkbook Registry Template, and I know how to make the columns/ rows a
certain function (i.e. currency, date, etc.) but I can't figure out the
formula to get the running balance. If someone could help, i would greatly
appreciate it!
