I want to copy the new balance into cell J15 Balance

Date Ck # AMT Balance 
       $  140,106.95 
     $         106.95  $  140,000.00 
     $         100.00  $  139,900.00

    A simple solution is a sum formula.  Since your example had column/row headings, I recreated.

    In cell H1, enter the simple formula; =G5-SUM(E:E).  This subtracts everything in column E from the beginning balance, cell G5.  If check amounts are entered as negative, change formula to G5+SUM(E:E).
