NUMBERS FORMULA IDENTIFICATION?

Apple Computer Problems led to the current installation of Numbers. I am totally unfamiliar with Numbers. I want to set up Tables(?) providing each months church expenses. And for each month, I want to have a column that provides a running total of each expense category. To do so I need to set up a formula to "automatically" access each previous month running totals, by category, and add the current month category to it for a current running total. HELP! Thanks.

Have you had a look at the Personal Budget template at File > New in your menu. From your description of what you are trying to do, that may be a good starting point. It makes good use of the SUMIF function to total by category.


To familiarize yourself with Numbers study the templates and go to Help > Numbers Help in the menu.
