Budgets in excel

I want to create a budget in excel...and for my expenses section, i want to create "total expenses" cell...that updates each time i have a new expense. How can i do this, without having to update the formula? Currently, the formula has a range of cells in it to add but if I add new cells, I'd have to update the formula each time.

Hi Madih35
My solution is this:
Make sure there is a blank row just above the Total expenses cell.
Rewrite the formula to include the blank cell as well and save.
Every time you have a new expense which requires a new row, insert a row and type in the new cell, instead of typing in the existing blank cell. Your formula will be updated automatically.
Best of luck

How do you figure out the percentage of a budget

The percentage is simply 100 x (things you are interested in / total).
So for example the percentage of foodstuffs which go, with the other things to make up the household expenditure (budget) is
100 x (amount spent on food) / (total household spend), or
100 x (food budget) / (total household budget)

The Belvedere Arms takes £11,800 in drink sales and £5,600 in food sales in a week. In the same week the pub delivers £8,496 profit on drink and £3,640 profit on food. The week's sales...

Assuming the Belvedere Arms sells only food and drink:
a) Total sales for the week is the sum of the drink sales and food sales, £11,800 + £5,600 = £17,400
b) Sales budget is £16,200, so performance is (17,400-16,200)/16,200 = 1200/16200 = .074 which is up by 7.4%
c) Profit on food is £3,640 on total food sales of £5,600. 3640/5600 = .65 or 65%
d) Profit on drink is £8,496 on total drink sales of £11,800. 8496/11,800 = .72 or 72%
e) Total profit is £12,036 on total sales of £17,400. 12,136/17,400 = .697 or 70%

IF Formula

You can use this formula
=IF(A2<=100,"Within budget","Over budget")
Which means
If the number above is less than or equal to 100, then the formula displays "Within budget". Otherwise, the function displays "Over budget" (Within budget)
or you and try something like this
=IF(A2=100,SUM(B5:B15),"")
which means
If the number above is 100, then the range B5:B15 is calculated. Otherwise, empty text ("") is returned ()
I got these examples from the help within Exel they give several more examples and more expaination.
