Formula Needed for a Running Total, Based on 2 Specific Cells Content

[WillowDean]

I have 3 columns I want to work with.
B3 - is a starting total.
C3 – is an addition column (If I put money in)
D3 – is a subtraction column (if I take money out)
F3 – Is the column I want to hold the running total – I want it to look at C3 and D3, and determine whether to add or subtract from F3 based on cell content.

I am stuck...

Thank you!

WillowDean,
Put this code in cell F3
=(B3+C3)-D3
this will take the starting value, B3, add the contents of C3 and then subtract the contents of D3,
placing the resulting answer in F3

WillowDean,
Glad that helped. You can also copy and paste Cell F3 to Cell F4 and the code will update the formula to be =(B4+C4)-D4. I use that trick in my own
budget spreadsheet.
