hi folks,

Need help on the best formula to make sort of account detail
i.e.

date description CREDIT DEBIT BALANCE
1/11 balance from october 35000
5/11 income 4750 39750
7/11 expense 450 39300

what formula can I put in the BALANCE Row, so that when I put certain value to CREDIT row the balance will increase.
And when I put certain value to DEBIT row, the balance will decrease

Thanks

Sorry, I've been away from the forum for too long, and sorry for my question title being not really clear. :D
