Hi Patty,
     I believe one types F2 to start entering a formula. Now, I have had 
troubles with this but as I recall one starts with the = sign. something like 
=1+2
In your case you would want = a1+b1 or a similar formula.  The trouble was I 
usually got the right answer with an error message saying I was doing it all 
wrong. So, I hope someone can give you better advice.

God bless,
Mark

Thanks for getting back to me.

What I'm doing is making a check book with the columns
A. check number, B cancel, C. date, D who to, E. payment, F deposit, G. 
balance, and cell h3 is the forward balance from last month.
All this is in row 2, and the first row to write in should be row 4.
I don't know how to write the formula in a blank excel table.
Thanks again
Patti

Hi Patty;
 Think I can help but am a little confused about your terminology. payment 
to is a text field?Balance is the new balance?
Where are you deducting the payment to ?
regards
Scott
