    Unhappy Petty Cash Envelope - Auto Fill Account Totals

    I am looking for a way to automate my petty cash envelope file so that it automatically adds up all expenses with the same account number at the bottom.

    I have included an image to better explain
    Petty Cash Envelope EXAMPLE.jpg

    The workflow is as follows:
    - Petty Cash Envelope is submitted with totals from employee (see BLUE area)
    - Accountant (me) will enter an account number in the 'ACCT USE ONLY' column beside each expense (see RED area)

    Then I would like the bottom Account totals box (Green Area) to automatically add all similar expenses together. This would entail:
    - Adding an account number for any account number added in the 'ACCT USE ONLY' area from expense area (only adding 1 instance of each)
    - populating the rest of the total for that account with the sum of totals from all similar account numbers in the expenses area
    - filling in the description for that account line (descriptions would be on a separate sheet in the excel file along with the account number (see attached chart of accounts)
    Example Finished.pdf

    Can anyone help me figure this out? If I can get the spreadsheet to auto fill this in it will save me a TON of time and headache. I would be eternally grateful for any help!!

    Have also attached the excel file in question.

    Re: Petty Cash Envelope - Auto Fill Account Totals


    Awesome thank you popipipo!!!

    Thats half my battle, any chance you know how to do the following?

    1.
    The above formula will auto sum my account totals only after I add the account numbers in the GREEN area.

    Id like the worksheet automatically add any account lines entered in the RED area down in the GREEN area, thus eliminating a step.

    Does this made sense?

    2.
    I would also like the DESCRIPTION in the green area to auto fill in. The corresponding DESCRIPTION for each account is on the 2nd sheet in the file.

    Ex.
    32.10 - Catering/Meals

    Thank you!!

    Re: Petty Cash Envelope - Auto Fill Account Totals

    Thank you TMS!

    This works amazing once all the info has been entered.
    *see ex3
    Petty Cash Rpt TMS._ex3.pdf

    However it does something funny when there is no information in the expense area. It has a '0.00' in the first ACCT summary line (GREEN AREA)
    *See Ex.1
    Petty Cash Rpt TMS._ex1.pdf

    Also when expenses are entered it totals them in the ACCT summer (GREEN) as the absolute totals. I would like no information to populate this area until the ACCT numbers have been added by the ACCOUNTANT in the RED area.
    *see Ex.2
    Petty Cash Rpt TMS._ex2.pdf

    Does that make sense?

    Really appreciate your help!

    You're very welcome.

    Have you thought about what would happen if, in your 20 line items, you have more than 11 unique account numbers? Could that happen?

    Re: Petty Cash Envelope - Auto Fill Account Totals

    I have thought of this yes. But in 5 years I have never had more than 10 accounts on an expense report/Petty cash report.

    If there were more than 10, then the totals in the account summary wouldn't be equal to the totals in the Expense area. That is my check.

    If down the road I need more lines I would just add more lines and adjust then.

    Thanks again! Have marked as solved
