I am looking for a formula to keep a running balance that accounts for every other row being blank.
The Balance starting cell is H3
The starting row for the credits and debits is ROW 5
I would like to keep the running balance on the even ROWS with the first cell being ROW H6 and then every other ROW H8, H10, H12 etc.
In the example below Check Amount (Column E), Deposit (Column G), Balance (Column H)

A couple of other comments for your consideration:
- I would be a little wary of using the post #3 suggestion. If a user subsequently decides to add a new row at or near the top of the sheet, the formulas will return values in a different position to what you have requested.

- It may or may not be what you want but if copied down below your last debit/credit entry, jtakw's formula will continue to give a balance figure whereas Marcelo's formula & mine will only produce a balance as far down as the final debit/credit.

H5 formula copied down.


I tried this as well but I have not been able to get it to work.
When I use this formula the cell is blank. I am not getting an error in the cell just no data.

Thanks

The error is happening at the end of the formula. It works through the -E5 but then the error results after the +G5,""
