    Car mileage expenses

    Hi

    Newbie here....

    I am trying to make what I thought would be a simple spreadsheet: I work for three different organisations and want to be able to record my car mileage along with a category in a drop down list which indicates which organisation I was driving for that day.

    I have the drop down list but I can't work out how to make excel add a total to the relevant column for each organisation. I'm sure its simple but i can't do it!

    Thanks in advance

    It would help a lot if you posted a sample workbook. Otherwise you're relying on the imagination of the forum members. Though they're good, they're (mostly) not psychic ;-)

    Mark,

    I have attached a modified version of your workbook. Is something like that what you're looking for?
