Hi there,

I have two columns In the one column is a symbol and in the other an amount if the symbol in D = P then the amount in Column E should be negative.

I then have a total box that will add and subtract the value's together. How do I insert a line automatically when I want to make a new entry

Hope anyone will be able to assit

Regards
 

Excel Facts

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
Not sure where you data resides specifically, but perhaps:
Code:
=E1*IF(D1="P",-1,1)
Then you can sum the values normally.
