    Need a formula to sum credit/debit rows and place result in appropriate column

    I have two columns of dollar data, one credits, one debits. If I just AUTOSUM the rows, the result appears in a single column. I would like to place a NEGATIVE (credit) result in one column, and a POSITIVE (debit) result in another column. Zero result (i.e., debits/credits canceling out) should NOT appear (as 0) but as blank in both.

    Thanks, Brendan, but column C would be -2, not -6. I need the SUM of A and B in the appropriate column. If negative number, then in C, if positive, in D.

    Re: Need a formula to sum credit/debit rows and place result in appropriate column

    Hi,

    Following on your earlier response, in an income expense spread sheet, I have four columns, date, description, debit and credit, with the number of rows unknown yet. At the last entry of the month, I would like to have the final net figure calculated from the debit and credit entries made in separate columns. Grateful for your help on the appropriate formula.

    Cheers,
