Can I automatically data into one cell if I enter data in another cell?

**Ozzmatron** · 08-05-2012, 12:57 PM

I am working on a financing workbook, and am trying to have an area where I enter weekly payments I make, and have them enter data into other areas I have, such as rent, etc.

Here's where I'm stuck. If I enter something like $500 into the weekly payments cell, is there a way I can have that $500 also entered into the Rent cell?

In the screenshot I posted, the red circle is where I will enter the data, and I want it to automatically enter into the orange circle.

Is this doable? And if so, how?

Thanks

Thanks for the help. Tried it, but after playing around with it, I didn't end up liking it. So I got rid of the payments area altogether. Simpler this way now.
