Hi Kevin. Thanks for replying. Basically I started University with a set amount of money, then I just add transactions each time a student loan comes in. I revised the inital rollover of the "Salary" to the starting amount I went to university with and then each month the allocated spends is taken from that account.
Does that sound right? Thanks again for your help. If I can get this setup as I like I'll definitely be buying. Excel is starting to get annoying with the sheer amount of transactions and complexity.
