If you had a simple formula like:

=A2

in cell A3 and copied this down, then whenever you had a new receipt
number (let's say in A10) and entered 1234, then all the cells below
it would show this. If another new receipt number had to be entered in
A15, then the cells below that would show the new receipt no. So, you
would only have to enter the receipt number for the first entry, over-
writing the formula - saves a bit of inputting ...

Hope this helps.

I can't think of a way - SUMIF relies on matching data from the range
in its first parameter to the contents of its second parameter, so if
you had blanks in column A it would not be able to match with it.

Is there a problem recording the receipt number on every row?

Thanks for your responce Pete,

Is there a way of applying this without having to insert the receipt
number for all transactions?

No problem really,
It's just that the spreadsheet has so much content that requires an
input, that we are now reviewing all areas where the input could be
either automated or simplified.

So the less input required the better.

Thanks again,
