Accounting formula

Thank you in advance.

 

Simply, Have an invoice tracking spreadsheet that is returning incorrect numbers.

 

Let's say column A is what is due, column B is what is paid and I need column C to provide what is still due. Problem is, sometimes we are given part payments which returns a false answer.

 

The current formula Calculates A as $5000, B as $3000 (part payment) and C as $0.00 were it should be $2000 is still due.

 

Obviously this is simplified, there are several columns summing similar numbers then charting the answer.

    Obviously my understanding of a community help forum is not what I thought. Sorry to waste your time.

      Sorry, I have simplified it to much. Actual formula =SUMIF(O2:O385,"<>",H2:H386) goes not help me if a part payment is received.

      Column H is wages due. Columns F and G are the same but I calculate them separately (only way I know).

      Column O is for payments received.

      I will make sure any future questions are detailed.

      • Old_School Could you post a small data sample (not 300 rows, just 10) and put in the expected results manually? It's hard to visualise what you want to achieve.
