Balance sheet functions?
I would like to add 2 columns and display the results in a 3rd column and
keep a running balance. A "check" register is really what I would like to set up. Would I write the function in the "c" column for example? =sum(A1+B1) then for the next row that the info will go into cell C2 =sum(C1+A2+B2) I was wondering how to write out the function so that I don't have to do it for each cell. Something like a variable N? |

In your debit column (column B?) are you entering negative values, or positive?
If negative: =A1+B1 and then next row copied down) is: =A2+B2+C1 If positive: =A1-B1 and then next row (copied down) =A2-B2+C1 Variations for cleanliness: =IF(COUNT(A2:B2)=0,"",A2-B2+C1) This would display a blank cell if not entry has been made yet. -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "Behrens" wrote: I would like to add 2 columns and display the results in a 3rd column and keep a running balance.

In C1 enter the below formula and copy down as required
=SUM($A$1:B1) If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "Behrens" wrote: I would like to add 2 columns and display the results in a 3rd column and keep a running balance.

You don't need the SUM function.
=sum(A1+B1) is no different from =A1+B1 =sum(C1+A2+B2) is no different from =C1+A2+B2 If you want to know what the SUM function does, and what its syntax is, look it up in Excel help. -- David Biddulph <Behrens wrote in message ...
