keeping track of total dollar amount for campers
Hi all,
First of all, I love this site and use it alot. I am hoping someone can help me out. I have a list of 360 people in a column who attend camp. They were given a stipend to use daily for candy, etc. Each item has specific dollar amounts and I want to use this spreadsheet on a daily basis to track money left on a campers account so we know how much they have left and notify them that they need to refill their money account. I hope this makes sense. Joe $100 Lisa $75 Mary $200 Kristy $150 (in any column: chips, m&m, pop, juice, etc) (in any column: $$ amount of each item cost) I am hoping there is a way to create a shortcut so that I can simply click the item that the camper bought (juice, candy) and then have it subtract it quickly and show it in a column. Any help is soooo much appreciated, thank you kindly. |

I left out that after you create the valdidation cells you can use vlookup
to get the prices Don Pistulka "Don" wrote in message ... If would suggest using data validation cells for the items linked to price tables.

Hi,
I am a bit confused....Is there a way to show what needs to be in each column for simple calculations? Do you have an example or is there an example template from that website?
