if were talking excel, then you would use an if, almost like in standard programming, its in the formula's menu, and there is help in the help files that will show you the syntax for it.

Hi, Some spreadsheets have a column for indicating that transactions have cleared the bank. Does anyone know how to say something like this in aformula? Let's say you have a number in B1 AND A CLEAR INDICATOR IN C1. Youonly want B2 added to the usable balance if C2 contains the letter X. I haven't found a way to refer to the cell you are pointing to, so I assume that you may need to put a hidden column in your spreadsheet once you set it up, but I'm not sure. Thanks.

I was thinking about using excel. If I kept a balance, say a verticle sheet with what it was on the left, and then the values on the right, is there a way to make it automaticallyadd to the total? If I'm going straight down, I can add ranges, but it'd be nice if itwouldjust add the values as they're inserted.
