I was able to figure out one way to do it.  I made one grid where the
requisitions are entered and another grid with each account listed in a
column for calculation.  I used a pretty simple formula in the tracking grid
=if(c5=$m$1, G5,"") Where c5 is the account name where the requisition is
posted and $m$1 is a column heading with the same account name and G5 is the
amount for that requisition.  When the requisition is posted, the amount
goes to the correct column where I just have the formula =M3-SUM(M5:M141)
where M3 is the budgeted amount for that account and then any amounts that
go to that column will be subtracted.

Subject: [mso] Excel Formula Question


I would like to keep a running total of various budget line items(accounts)
as requisitions are processed.  I have created a spreadsheet that has
columns of Date, Requisition #, Vendor, Amount, Account Name, Account
Number, etc.  For Account Name, I have a drop down list and when users
choose the name, the number will fill in.  I have another sheet with a
master budget.

So if one account A starts with $1000 and account B has $500 and I have a
requisition from Account A, I think I can write a formula that would find
the account number and the budgeted amount and subtract the first
requisition.  But later when I write another requisition, how do I make it
look at all the requisitions that have been written for Account A to get the
running remaining balance?

Thanks for any help you can offer.  Please let me know if I can clarify my
question.

Thanks,
Jenny
