Thank you. Do I understand correctly that csv62719 is you source file. If to avoid Power Query we copy/paste data from it into the sheet in main file, here by formula create massaged range and based on it and month/year/monthid parameters create aggregated result. Workflow is correct?
Sorry for the delay I was trying to get the documents to uploaded to you. I really do not like Power Query as it appears to have a lot of limitations that Excel has got. Can we stick with the excel formula?

I have a small problem with not having the capabilities to refresh the data on a IPAD, it is imposable to change the month and get accurate results in the Excel output. I have tried to work around this and still run into the same problem, I have also requested this as an enhancement to Excel. However, it is not high on their priority list, and I can't get enough votes to get the fix to move it up on the list.
Is there any other way to get the results without having to do a refresh every time.?

With Power Query it's better to calculate it separately (Opening Balance query in attached file), result will be like
and Closing Balance is calculated as
=SUBTOTAL(109,[Amount]) + Opening_Balance[Opening Balance]

I am trying to set current month's ending balance to be next month's opening balance. I have tried various different date functions (i.e.PreviousMonth) but cannot get this to work. Is this possible in PQ?
(previous months balance)
Opening Balance 2,349.73 (Current month)
Balance 3,594.20

Norman_McIlwaine , okay, thank you for the feedback.

Replacement table is in the first sheet of the file, in grid.
Modify it here and Refresh All. Power Query only reads that table.

- Norman_McIlwaineSep 27, 2023Brass ContributorI have been away for a while and I am just getting back into PQ again. I was trying to add a new entry in the table replacements and I find that I can not do this using PQ editor. I believe this is because when I open the table it is in preview mode. All that I can do is to view the data in the table. How can I edit the table to insert a new row ?
- Norman_McIlwaineSep 12, 2023Brass ContributorThanks for helping me out on this one. I was entering excel functions instead of M code functions. I must get a book on M code.
Thanks again.
