Hi there,
I am an excel novice...I understand basics and some more complicated formulas, but I cannot figure out the best way to approach this.
I manage a 28 unit apartment complex. I have to send a spreadsheet to our bookkeeper when I make a deposit. The spreadsheet delineates date of deposit, tenant, unit, and how the payment is allocated.
What I would like to do is create a separate workbook which would track each tenant individually and keep a running total of their past due payments so I am able to see immediately if someone is late, or if (for example) they've missed a payment toward their last month's rent deposit; also, being able to supply tenants with a list of their payments and outstanding balances quickly would be so great!
I have explored both the "vlookup" and "if" functions, but get mired down in the details, macros are a complete mystery, and I don't even know if I'm on the right track? Can anyone help me or is this too ambitious for a newbie?
Thanks for any help! I've attached both a copy of the spreadsheet I send to the bookkeeper and what I would like the individual tenant sheet to look like (roughly...am open to any advice). Please note the individual tenant worksheet I created has some flaws and my formulas are not completely accurate...just trying to fumble my way through all of this.
Thanks in advance for any help!
