error msg when using IF( .when the colum reference is text
- Sep 27, 2020
Riny_van_Eekelen thank you for the reply, i will go through the workbook you recommenced shortly, sorry if i was not more explicit with the problem, which as my second post tried to state i found one solution in the formulae. what i was trying to achieve was have the amount in column D to use the trigger in column G to make the amount in Column D auto place the amount in Column AI.
i am not sure i can create an array or a table as the number of rows in each month will vary depending on the number of transactions each month (may be 15 up to 60 rows).
having spent several hours on this i have one solution used this function in column J
=IF(d2="tr",C2." ") which, when copied down picks up all debit amounts showing them in red as negative currency
appears i can not have different col. for the income within the one formula
so created col.K with function -> IF(H2="tr",g2," ")
with copy down it also picks all ' tr' references then it just means total of J +total of K = 0 to give me a balanced answer
would have preferred to do this in one column but don't seem to be able to get AND or OR to work with the different(debit / credit) column's.
if anyone has a better solution i would love to hear it
i don't seem to be able to copy anything from this cloud based excel ( some sync error), can't take a screen shot either.

redi_to_learn Perhaps you'll find the attached workbook helpful. Have tried to follow the logic from your latest post, though, I may have misunderstood.
