    Dividing expenses between siblings - christmas gifts

    Hi,

    the holidays are coming up, and I'm trying to make an excel-sheet to record and divide all expenses for gifts for me and my sister and brother.
    Normally I could program this with ease, but I'm stuck in my own brain and can't seem to think correctly.

    As you see in the attached sheet, I have 3 tables: One for input (who paid for what, and who will split the cost), one for total expenses per capita, and the last a calculation form on who owes what.
    Here's the kicker: these are separate events, meaning I don't care what my brother and sister owe each other.
    For instance, James (me) and Harry are splitting the cost on a gift to Liz. James and Liz are splitting the cost on a gift to Harry. I am only interested to know what I owe Harry, and what I owe to Liz, not the total. Hope this makes sense.

    Any ideas on how to make this?

    i would setup another table , and use
    =IF(H5="","",IFERROR(B5/IF(E5="X",COUNTIF(D5:F5,"X")),0))
    NOT elegant and maybe a simple way - but first thing i thought of
