Hello Excel experts, :-)
I'm hoping someone has done something similar or can be of assistance.
I've a workbook I use to document expenses throughout the year.
It has a sheet for each month of the year (ie Jan, Feb, Mar etc) & each sheet has a description of the purchases in one column, the cost of that purchase in the next, and the type of expense account(from a dropdown list) in the next column. Refer pic 1

On another sheet called 'summary' it totals each account type by looking for a match on each worksheet, and if true, takes the value in the adjacent cell and adds it for the total spend so far for the year. Refer Pic 2

On extra worksheets (Tools, Computer Equip, Office Equip, Stationary etc) I breakdown the total value for each account type with each purchase, taken from the 'monthly' worksheets so I can also see what the total for that account type was made up of. Refer Pic 3

This part I'm doing manually at present by searching through and copying each purchase detail and cost for each account type, but would really love to have it automated with a macro or some other way so those worksheets (breakdowns of account purchases) are populated as the entries are entered into the 'monthly' worksheets.
I currently have more than one account type on some of those 'detail' sheets and understand it could cause a problem having too many entries in regards to the number of rows available to each account type. I can change it to a sheet for each account type if need be.
I hope that makes sense and I've attached snaps of each part I've referred to.
Appreciate if someone can help me with this.
Thankyou in advance to all that can.
