The If function
I'm trying to write a simple formula for a columnar Ledger account that has
a Dr Entry and a Credit entry. I want to show in the balance column the amount in $'s and the fact if it is a Dr Balance or a Credit Balance. Cell A2 and B2 would have the heading Debit and Credit, C2 would have the balance heading. Cel A3 has a value of $3000 and cell B3 a Value of $4000 Cell C3 would then have a balance of $1000Cr. This formula would then need to be copied down the column and self adjust for each entry. |

The If function
In C3 you can use the formula:
=A3-B3 In C4 you can use the formula: =C3+A4-B4 Highlight both these cells and click on Format | Cells | Number tab, then select Custom, and in the panel type in this format: $0"Cr";$0"Dr" Then you can copy the formula in C4 down as far as you need to. Hope this helps. Pete On Feb 6, 10:35*pm, Matt wrote: I'm trying to write a simple formula for *a columnar Ledger account that has a Dr Entry and a Credit entry.

The If function
Actually, if you want the cells in column C to show only if there is
an entry in either A or B for each row, then change the formula in C4 to this: =IF(OR(A4<"",B4<""),C3+A4-B4,"") then copy this down. Hope this helps.
