Hi i am trying to create a dynamic personal accounts table in which to account for all of my inflows and out flows on my from my bank account, at the bottom i have created a simple balance checker which checks to see if my closing balance (row 43) for that month is equal to the total of my manual entered amounts in my 2 accounts (row 48) if equal the cell for the corresponding month will show Balanced, in not NOT balanced.

How ever as i have the formula/Logic Test For all months, All the relevant cells for future months regarding Opening Balance, Closing Balance and Balance Check are all being worked incorrectly as the date (inflows and out flows) haven't been entered yet (As its in the future and not everything can be predicted)

I was looking for a way to set everything up so those cells show up as "Future" If it is actually in the Future but precedes to work out the logic test/Formula if in the Past.

*By "future" i mean prior to the last day of the month in question.

*I have tried set up some values that show the last day on the month in question directly underneath the Month label as well as the current date (row 3). I cant however convert the dates into practical values that i can use for logic tests .

*I doubt that this is at all relevant but i got the figure in cell "C13" (April, Account Starting Point) using Goal Seek

Additional help!!

1. I would like to know how set up my Balance checker cells to be red if Unbalanced, Green if balance's and white/clear if Future

2.Under Regular cash inflows and regular cash out flows, some of the things are paid weekly on a given day, for example "Mum General Support"(£20) is transferred every Monday, is there a way to be able to times a figure, in this case £20 by the amount of a set day in that month dynamically, i understand i may need to reconstruct/make space for some stuff. Any ideas?

Any Help at all is appreciated, I am New to excel and Mr Excel.com, Please forgive me if i have said anything stupid while trying to avoid coming of as a complete novice. oh and my lack of full stops

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
