I'm working on a budget system using Excel 2003. I have one page set up as a
monthly summary, and another set up as a transaction list. I want to view
the date I paid a particular bill on the Monthly Summary worksheet, taking
that data from the Transaction List. I'm using a 2 digit numerical system to
classify different bill categories. Example:

Date Code Desc. Price
14-Jun-04 10 Electricity 300.00

I tried an IF function to bring the date across where the first part was
"B:B=10", the second part was "A:A" and the third part was left blank. I
couldn't get it to work....am I approaching this incorrectly? Here's what
I'm looking for: when I enter a payment for a specific bill in my
Transaction List worksheet, is there a way to bring the date of that
transaction across to a column in my Monthly Summary worksheet to indicate
(1) that I paid the bill and (2) when I sent the check? Thanks in advance.
As I'm sure you can tell, I've next to no experience with spreadsheets in
general and Excel in particular, and this has been quite and adventure.
