    Please help to create accounting sheet.

    Good time of the day.

    I need to create a relatively simple sheet to aid my simple accounting needs at work. However I couldn't figure out myself how to do it. I hope it is even possible to do at all.

    I have 2 tabs. One tab with invoices and another tab with purchase orders (budget).

    For example on project order tab I have 3 purchase orders with budgets:
    PO00001 - �1000
    PO00002 - �1000
    PO00003 - X1000

    On invoice tab I need to enter new invoice and in column with purchase order I need to see all those 3 POs above. When I choose for example PO00001 it start co correspond to PO00001 in Purchase orders tab.
    If my invoice is �300 the line with PO00001 in purchase order tab automatically see that and minus from total budget of �1000 and show that on PO00001 I have �700 left.

    The list should be dynamic as purchase orders added to tab constantly.

    sorry for messy explanation and thank you for your help.

    Welcome to the forum.

    There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook (yellow banner: HOW TO ATTACH YOUR SAMPLE WORKBOOK). Screenshots are of little practical use as we cannot manipulate them.

    A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. The sample layout accurately matches that of your real data. It also has expected results mocked up, worked examples where required, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.

    I think this workbook will do what you are looking for. Please note that, on both sheets, the data has been changed into an Excel Table. If you are not familiar with Excel Tables, I would look up some tips.

    Re: Please help to create accounting sheet.

    By making data into an Excel Table (select any cell within the data and press CTRL+T), it causes Excel to create it into an Object. While within an object, it allows you to define a range, not by the cells (i.e. $A$2:$A$50) but by the name of the column header. This way, when you expand the table, the range automatically expands.

    On your first sheet, I applied a Data Validation to the column with your POs. It points to the column on the second sheet that has all your POs listed. Then on the second sheet, it's a simple SUMIF formula that subtracts all the matching POs on the first sheet's values from the original cost.

    Here is a pretty decent guide on Excel Tables. My advice (take it or leave it) - learn about tables. They are very powerful tools within Excel that make manipulating data soooo much easier.
