Hello All,
I have a spreadsheet with a record of orders and each order is allocated to a certain cost code (indicates which department is paying for the order) and a certain GL category (indicates which budget the money is coming from).
It also has a separate tab of all the budgets, so each cost code and GL code has a budget that can be spent each month.
I am looking to have a bit more visibility of what has been spent each month and what's left so was wondering if its possible to display the data from the Orders tab on a separate sheet and then filter by cost code, GL code and month, so for example, we can view how much has been spent on cost E81000 in R&M for the month of January. But then (and this is why I'm stuck) I'd also like to view how much is left in that budget, so view what's already been spent under E81000, R&M, January, and then also see how much is left from the budget (taken from the 'budget' tab), and also have the budget/what's left correspond to whatever filter we have on. So if we were to switch the filter to see what's been spent under E82000, Plant Hire, February and then the 'what's left' bit will update as well.
The 'month' will come from column C 'GR Month' and the amount spent will be column L 'Real spend'.
I hope that makes some sort of sense.....
I cannot upload a mini spreadsheet as my company IT has blocked the necessary app but I do have a test spreadsheet here: Costs Template.xlsx
This has got minimal data on it but we do actually have 12 cost codes which each have 12 GL categories so in total we've got 144 different budgets to monitor.
Thanks so much to anyone that can make sense of that and offer any help![Smile :) :)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png)
