organising the car finances - excel experts

do any excel bods know how I could sum the incoming credit card balance with the outgoing credit card payment and have it display in the bottom credit card field?

The payment is manual and the date varies so could come anywhere in the list. The reason comment will be standardised though.

I've always struggling with getting sumif and if functions to work. Is it complex enough to require some code?

ETA: you need a google account to view it, if anyone knows a better way to upload let me know

ETA2: couldnt have got this post more wrong, 6 edits later I think it makes sense..

the topics in excels own help function are very good when it comes to the IF formulas

simply take one of their examples and modify it

It won't let me look at the spreadsheet as I apparently have to request access - which I have now done

2 ways I can see are:
1 - The quick and dirty one.

On another workbook have a vlookup to find all values which are for the credit card and sum them at the bottom. Then reference that vaule in the first workbook.

2 - The cleaver way.

Write a function to do it.

OK, so if I am understanding you...

You want the total in next to credit card to be the sum of everything in incoming minus whatever Outgoing "CREDIT CARD" payments are listed but missing all other outgoings?

If so, if you assume that Credit Card is in cell A33 then this formula in C33 should do the trick:
=SUM(B7:B29)-SUMIF(D7: D29,"CREDIT CARD",C7:C29)

If I have got what you are asking wrong then if you try to clarify what you are after I will try again for you.

Mark

(NOTE: no space between the (D27: and D29... I put that in else you get (D2729.... )

Slightly simpler than that: i want the value next to CREDIT CARD to be subtracted from the credit card balance at the very top of the page in the bottom credit card balance to give the final balance on the card after I've made a payment against it

So if the very top credit card was -£50 (i.e. in debt) and the outgoing CREDIT CARD value is -£25 (- indicating money leaving my account) then I would like the very bottom credit card cell to show -£25

thanks for your replies everyone. VLOOKUP could be an easy alternative.

Thats dead easy.
=A3-SUMIF(E4:E11,"cc",D4: D11)

(change the range to fit your sheet)

You could do it with VLOOKUP but this will account if you make two payments to the credit card.

[edit to add a space so you dont get a ]
