Hi,
I have my budget done up in excel. I have each month done seperatly for the next year. At the top of each month I have budgeted spend and then on another column underneath I have actual spend.
I want to have the actual spend calculated differently though. At the moment I have
Week1 - 60
Week2 - 55
Week3 - 49
Week4 - 67
I am calculating these figures by adding up my receipts and typing them into the cells directly. I would like to add a new tab in excel to add in all my grocery bills itemised and then for the figure on the main page be dynamically calculated from this. I'm not sure how to do this.
The main reason I want to do this is to be able to generate some sort of stats on my shopping habits to see where I can save more money.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.
Take a look at the attached screenshot aswell (click link below) to get a better idea of what I mean should I not have explained myself well. This is three months of my new budget. You will see on the bottom for the first month (bottom left) I have filled in my grocery expense. When the month is over I plan on doing a cost adjustment into the current money column as my actual spend is not exact same as budgeted.
Any other ideas to improve my budget will be appreciated.
