Diffrence in values

Hello,

I am creating my own Bill Tracker with a cell that has the $ amount that i owe and a cell that when i pay that amount i check it to show paid.At the bottom of the $ cells i have a total amount of bills that i owe and in the cell below that i would like to know the differance between what i owe and what is left after i have checked off "Paid".I have already set the rule once i check it another cell shows paid but when i do that i want to know how to get it to deduct it at the bottom with the differance.Hope i made scense and Thank You.

    Hi Gerry,

     

    Don't know which formulas you use now, SUMIF or SUMIFS or SUMPRODUCT could give you any desirable combination. For example, let assume you have in A1:A10 dates of the bills, in column B amounts and in column C the status ("Paid" or empty).

     

    Not paid sum could be calculated as

    =SUMIF(C1:C10,"<>Paid",B1:B10)

    Not paid amount of May's bills

    =SUMPRODUCT((B1:B10)*(C1:C10<>"Paid")*(MONTH(A1:A10)=5))

    And so on, above is just an idea

      Hello Sergei,

        I am very new to Excel and not sure which formula to use,i will give a better example of what i am trying to accomplish.In D3 through D30 i have the amounts of my bills,

      I have set up this formula =IF(E3:E30="x","PAID","") in A3 through A30.In D31 i have the totals of column D,So my goal is once i check off a bill i would like to see the difference between what i owe and what is paid in column D32.

        Thank You for your time.

        Gerry, when in D32 the sum of non-paid bill will be

        =SUMIF(E3:E30,"<>x",D3:D30)

        If you mean the what you owe is the sum of all not paid bills and you'd like to have the differrence between above and paid bills when

        =SUMIF(E3:E30,"<>x",D3:D30)-SUMIF(E3:E30,"x",D3:D30)
