Please help with finding correct functions!!!
I am trying to configure Excel to balance my checkbook. Column A is Trans.
Type, Column B is Date, Column C is Description of Trans., Column D is Debits, Column E lists if items are posted, Column F is Debits and Column G is Balance. I'm trying to get Column D (debits) to subtract from Column G (balance) and get a new balance (new column? H?) and get Column F (credits) to add to Column G (balance to get a new balance (again, new column? H?). I am not computer illiterate and I should be able to figure this out by myself. But I've been working on finding the right functions (linest, subtotal, etc.) and the way to phrase the functions to get what I want. Please help me, I am so frustrated I want to through the computer out the window! Thanks so much! Heidi |

Heidi Unless you just want the practice why not just download a template from MS http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/te...CT011815531033 Watch for line wrap. gls858 |

I'd rather use a program that will add and subtract trans for me. Sometimes
I goof with my math and it takes me so much time to go over it to find my error. Thanks anyway! "gls858" wrote: divahammer wrote: I am trying to configure Excel to balance my checkbook.

I bought an older version for $5 on ebay. I just use the check register so it work fine for me. Also makes reconciliation really easy. gls858 |
