I created a checkbook balance, but would like to add all of the same entries
into another worksheet in the same workgroup. I have tried VLookup, Index
Match, etc and can't seem to make this work. I have several entries for Auto
Payments, same amounts for the entire 12 month periods of 2008, which
function would allow me to tell the 1st worksheet to look up all of the Auto
Payment entries, sum of the payments to add to the new worksheet? Help me
please.

Use the SUMIF function:

Auto Payment..........720
Mortgage...............2250
Gas.........................300
Auto Payment..........720
Cable......................150

=SUMIF(A1:A5,"Auto Payment",B1:B5)

Hi,

If you mean by Auto Payment entries, car payments (of which, none are listed
in your sample) then
Based on this sample data (below) assuming dates are in column A, Type in
column B and Debit/Credit in column C

=SUMIF(B2:B100,"Auto Payment",C2:C100)

Note, if you dates run across years then

=SUMPRODUCT(--(YEAR(A2:A100)=2008),--(C2:C100="Auto Payment"),C2:C100))

If this helps, please click the Yes button.

Cheers,
Shane Devenshire
