    Question Formula to Insert Fortnightly Bills in Table

    Hello,

    This is my first post and I'm hoping to get a bit of help with creating a formula that I can use on a finance table that I've created.

    I am attempting to forecast my personal finances and want to insert fortnightly payments into a column automatically.

    I've managed to do this for my monthly payments through using the following formula:=IF($J21=BJ$14,BJ$17,""). For context, $J21 is the first cell of the column that captures the day value of the date which is in $I21, BJ$14 is the day of the month that the particular payment comes out (in this case the 4th) and BJ$17 is the value of the payment ($100). After entering this formula and dragging it down the entire column, $100 appears whenever the date is the 4th of the month.

    Does anyone know of a way that I could obtain the same result with fortnightly payments? Also, if you're feeling especially generous feel free to come up with a formula for quarterly payments too.

    My apologies if this is a silly question, I learn Excel by reverse engineering a lot of formulas that I come across in random spreadsheets (hence my display name). My knowledge definitely isn't up there at the moment and I might be missing something obvious.

    Thanks in advance,

    Mr XL. R Engineering

    Thank you,

    Example spreadsheet attached. Red columns are for monthly payments, yellow are for quarterly.

    See if the following will do what you want as far as fortnightly payments.
    1. Put a date into cell BA14
    2. Paste the following formula into cell BA21 and copy down: =IF(MOD($I21-BA$14,14)=0,BA$17,"")
    Let us know if you have any questions.
