I am doing a cash book on excel I want to be able to put the amount in say
column B and a description say in column C, then I went the the figure to be
automatically to be transferred to the apprpiate coulmn which will have the
same heading as the description. In other words I want to analyse the
information

With your description in Column C, and the amount in Column B, and your
various headings in Row 1 across. In D2 enter =IF(C2=$D$1,B2,"") and copy
down. In E2 enter =IF(D2=$E$1,B2,"") and copy down, etc.
If you have description Refreshments in say E1, and the same in D2, it will
reflect the amount spent in E2
