Budgets in excel

Hi Madih35
My solution is this:
Make sure there is a blank row just above the Total expenses cell.
Rewrite the formula to include the blank cell as well and save.
Every time you have a new expense which requires a new row, insert a row and type in the new cell, instead of typing in the existing blank cell. Your formula will be updated automatically.
Best of luck

Dear Madiha35,

 

I would recommend the use of the Table Function in Excel.

 

Here are the steps in Excel 2007, if this does not work for your version please add comment for me to reply to.
