Good day
this is the excel worksheet before me

item Budget Curr Budget Jan Feb Mar
comp h/w 5000 **** 1000 500 200
hort 6000 ****
animal prod 2000 ****

What formula should I use to workout the current budget. So initially I
have
R5000 then I purchase comp h/w for R1000 in jan the current budget should
be
R4000 and then purchase comp h/w in feb the current budget should be 3500
and
then purchase in mar the curr budget must be 3300. How can u accomplish
this?

Thanking you
