Subtotal Question with a twist
 

I have a worksheet with 12 monthly budgets. Income and expenses are sorted
via due date and I use a running balance in the last column. Lets say rows
1-50 make up Jan. Somehow, I want to be able to automatically subtotal
within the budget, certain expenses. To clarify, see below

L1: Income (him)
L2: Expense 1
L3: Expense 2
L3: Expense 3 Running Balance = 400
L4: Income (her)
L5 Expense 4
L6: Expense 5
..
..
..
..
L12: Expense 11

Is there a way to automatically select expenses 4-11 to subtotal how much
just that set of expenses are?

Not sure if a macro will come into play here or not.


Thanks,
Les

Hi,

The answer is probably - but how do you destinguish the Expenses 4-11 are
they actually call Expenses 4, Expenses 5...? Are the expenses you want to
sum based on something or just random? Do you always want to sum the
expenses in a range, that is from 4 to 11, not 4, 7, 9, and 11 (non adjacent
ones)?

Subtotal Question with a twist
 

I basically want to look at a range of expenses. My budget is basically set
up to look like a check register, ie a running balance after each entry
(income or expense).

Example of what I want to do.
Let's say on Sept 28, my running balance is $1500.00
I get paid $900.00 on Sept 30.
There is a list of expenses after the income entry
End of Month Balance = $300.00

I want to see if there is a way I can subtotal that set of expenses. I want
to apply this to any group of expenses between payperiods. I believe I could
set up a criteria if the payperiods were the same each month, ie 15th and
30th (which my wife's are), however I get paid every two weeks, so there
could be four groups of expenses between payperiods.

The only thing standard about my budget layout is the row/column size. The
actual entries are "floating" for lack of a better word, ie I cannot just
stick in a row that will subtotal each group.

Hope this helps. Like I said, it looks like it will take a macro that
determines which budget I am in by the ActiveCell and then picks apart the
budget based on where the income entries are and goes from there.

Thanks again for taking at stab at this.

Hi,

Why don't you show us a little sample, ie.

A B
coffee 1.00
pants 30.00
Paycheck 900
x 12
y 456
z 56
Paycheck 900

Do you want a formula in column C which shows the sum of the expenses
between paychecks? The key is going to be consistant entries for the
paycheck text in column A. You mention that you are listing both you and
your wife's paycheck, does that mean you want to sum expenses between any
paycheck, hers or yours or do you only want to do it for your paychecks?

Cheers,
Shane
