I would like to take me check book and enter in all information so I can get
a good idea of where my money is going. But I would like to have Excel sort
them into groups like eating out, Bills...Etc with a total so I can put them
into graphs. Can Excel to this? I know quicken can but I don't want to use
quicken

Thanks

You can use a pivot table to summarize the entries by category. There
are instructions in Excel's Help, and Jon Peltier has information and links:
