Hi everyone!

I am setting up a monthly personal budget in Excel, and I wanted to set the spreadsheet to automatically pull totals from my checkbook (in another Excel file) based on categories. In other words, my budget would have a section for "gasoline" and the formula would search my checkbook for "gasoline" items and then pull the totals from that category over to the budget automatically. Does this make sense at all? If so, let me know if there is a possible way to do this.
