Excel

how can you create a formula to show increasing expenditure and decreasing fund available on annual budget spreadsheet

RE: Excel

Hello Annette
Thank you for your question

Would it be possible to send more information? It would be helpful to know what columns you have so we know what to base the formula on. If you could give an example, perhaps with exactly what you want to show then that would be great


Kind regards
Cress

Excel tip:

Checking formulas with multiple operators

When dealing with formulas containing more than one operator (+, -, /, *), Excel follow standard BEDMAS order of operation rules. These rules specify the order that calculations will be performed in, regardless of how the formula reads left to right:

B = brackets
E = exponents
D = division
M = multiplication
A = addition
S = subtraction

It should be noted that multiplication and division are considered equal; as are addition and subtraction.

If you would like to check the order in which Excel is performing calculations in a formula, simply click on the cell containing the formula. Then go to Tools - Formula Auditing and select Evaluate Formula.

In the Evaluate Formula dialogue box that appears on your screen, click the Evaluate button to see how Excel calculates the formula result.
