    How do I Create a Reusable Table for Monthly expenses?

    Hello,

    My goal is to create a table where I can change the Month and have it show my monthly expenses for that month. I would like the headers to stay the same each month and the "Itemized Totals" row to appear for each month. Please see this screenshare video for a more detailed description: https://cl.ly/3o1e1g1W1n2H. I attached a screenshot of the table below - I currently have the month as a drop down. But i would like the table data to change as I change the month. I would appreciate any suggestions! Note this table also feeds into a master spreadsheet where I keep track of all my expenses. (The screenshare video shows all this in a more straightforward way).

    What I want to accomplish is in sheet 2. Right now I have the table set up with December at the top and each subsequent month below.
    (Dec, Jan, Feb etc.)

    Column A which has the month names is a drop down menu from which I can select the months. However what I want to be able to do is have one
    central table where I can switch months and have the data change too.
    This data also feeds into sheet 1 in the corresponding fields.

    I created a video with a demonstration to describe what I want to do here: https://cl.ly/2I0a3Y3L1Q2H. I also attached the file to this post.


    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Ryan

    Thank you! Is there any way to make that summary table to include the monthly data instead of just the totals?

    in sheet6 already monthly data is there. If you required any other idea regarding data structure, give some examples.

    Re: How do I Create a Reusable Table for Monthly expenses?

    Hello,

    Thanks for all your help. I was wondering if you could give me a video/voice explanation of the formula? I would like to learn how to create that table but I don't really understand how it's done.

    1) What I want to do is exactly what you did but I want to include all the specific data - not just the totals. So Instead of having to go to sheet 6 - I want a summary table that includes all the monthly data as well. See this video: https://cl.ly/0K3Y081S1x1h

    2) How do I make sheet 1 inherit all the values without typing in that formula every time? I would like to have it autofill the totals

    1b) How did you make the drop down cell with the months? Cell A2 on the summary sheet.

    2) How do I make sheet 1 inherit all the values without typing in that formula every time? I would like to have it autofill the totals automatically.
