    Macro for Running Total in a cell that is clearable and not a comment?

    Someone help?

    I am creating a budgeting tool for me to track my actual monthly expenditures and compare them to my monthly goals. I have my goals set and some pretty good formatting for that, however, i decided i wanted to put in a sheet where i can log my transactions daily in given headings.

    the objective is that i can click on a cell

    and add an expense, and it would just automatically add to the value in there previously.

    Doing this would allow me to reference the expenses i record on a later sheet, where it shows me the remaining funds to my goal, my goal itself, etc.

    The problem im having is that i cannot find the proper help / code with my specific problem. i cant seem to code the cell for a simple running total within that cell, where i dont have access to a formula, but rather just type a number and it adds to the prior number.
    In addition, i would like to be able to add the macro to the other expense cells...

    Lastly, can i add a ClearContents macro to a button to clear just the values, or would it also delete the macro here? if it would delete the macro and not just the values ive recorded over a month, what else would i use?

    If i have made any sense to someone, please advise!!

    Hi ADSibbio

    Welcome to the Forum!!!

    Well, Pictures are of little value in testing any Code we may suggest...try this Code in the Worksheet Module of the Worksheet you wish to manipulate. You'll need to change Column References and Button References...attached is the File on which I tested.

    Hi Antonio

    Be happy to help...

    Please attach a sample workbook the Structure of which is the same as your actual workbook.

    Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    INCLUDE ANY CODE YOU'RE USING OR HAVE TRIED.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    To do this, click on Go Advanced (below the Edit Window) while you are composing a reply, then scroll down to and click on Manage Attachments and the Upload window will open. Click on Browse and navigate to (and double-click) the file icon that you want to attach, then click on Upload and Close this Window to return to the Edit window. When you have finished composing your post, click on Submit Post.

    Hi Antonio

    I'm color blind so I'll explain what I did...moved this Code from a General Module to the Daily Entry Sheet Module and I've Locked and Protected Daily Entry for all Cells that are not Data Entry Cells (Column B only).
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    I've assigned this Code to your "Clear Transactions" Button on Sheet Transactions Summary and placed Formulas in Column B of the same Sheet...I've assumed that's why that Button is there.

    Regarding this...
    Also can the cells be moved up / down if I choose to insert cells above it?
    Sure, it can be done either manually or with Code. Either manually or with Code you'll need to keep Sheets Daily Entry and Transactions Summary in synch.
