Totalling in excel
I have come across a problem with a spreadsheet im using for holiday and
sickness tracking. I have a table with countif working on it, so everytime i put a "h" in the table it counts as one in the total number of days holiday cell, which is subtracted from the allowance and the result is displayed in the remaining days cell. My problem is, if for example, if i put in 10 days of holiday for someone in march the remaining days in march will go down, but for the rest of the months it will stay the same. How do i link the remaining days on all sheets so that when i put 10 days holiday in march it takes the remaining number of days down in the rest of the months sheets. Thanks for your help, im not exactly an excel wizard i know. Darryl |

Bit more info required maybe..Do the staff have a monthly holiday allowance? What happens if they don't take their allowance for a given month? Normally, holiday leave is annual, so calculating the remaining leave at any given time is trivial and doesn't require COUNTIF (nor a separate sheet for each month). If you have columns for From (date), To (date), and Days taken Just sum the Days taken column and subtract from the annual allowance. Phil "Darryl" wrote in message ...

What formulae are you using? Logically, if the total for March after the
deductions is the start total for April etc., then all will be OK "Darryl" wrote: I have come across a problem with a spreadsheet im using for holiday and sickness tracking.
