Checking; How do I get a balance computed after each entry?

Question

Checking: How do I get a balance posted after each entry?

Answer 1

Specific answer depends on how you've set up the checkbook table.
Assumed:
Dates in column A
Cheque numbers in B
Cheques/withdrawls in C
Deposits in D
Running total in E.
Opening balance in E1 (a Header row cell)
in E2:
=IF(C+D=0,"",E1-C+D)
The first part of the IF statement keeps the cell (vusually) empty until an amount is entered into either column C or D. If either column has an amount entered, the current balance is calculated and displayed on that row.
Fill the formula down through the rest of column E.
