the template for a check register has a running balance.... fine... i also
need the balance to read in a staionary cell at the top of the page so i
don't have to scroll down to get the balance....HELP

Hi Michele

this solution was posted by harlan grove to a similar question asked
recently

=LOOKUP(2,1/(-E1:E10<0),E1:E10)

where E1:E10 is the range you've interested in, change as necessary

In the cell at the top put

=cell_with_running_balance

i.e. if the cell with the running balance is H45 then use

=H45

i guess i didn't explain clearly.....try this link to see the register
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/te...1033..... the
balance changes cell after every entry....i need that plus a stationary cell
with the balance.....how do i grab the new balance every time i changes

Hi Michele

did you try my solution? ... looking at the link you just need to change the
E to G and increase the 10 to last possible row you could use.

Hi Michele

sorry, that formula looks for the last non-zero value ... use this one
instead
=INDEX(E1:E10,MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,E1:E10))

Hi Michele

glad it's solved and you certainly weren't a pain - it would have been
sensible of me to include both formula in my inital post.
