    Cool Add onto a formula to link a value based on a dropdown menu selection

    Morning All,

    Im in the process of trying to make a budgeting spreadsheet. I have a deposit column and then I also have 5 columns with breakdowns or subaccounts from the main deposit. So basically for the first sub account I have =.6*SUM(deposit column) because I want that account to hold 60% of everything I put in as a deposit. I go on to breakdown each subaccount like this and those seem to work great so far.

    Now where Im running into issues.... I have another table with a column for withdrawal amounts and a dropdown to indicate which sub-account I'm withdrawing from. So say that first subaccount mentioned above is titled "Down Payment" How do I add to the formula above to account for withdrawals if a line in that table is added with the "down payment" subaccount selected?

    Hopefully that makes sense and if not I can expand!

    Thanks so much!

    Thank you for the quick response!

    I attached the file I'm working on below.

    My goal is to have the Allocation Balances automatically change when I add an amount to A20 "withdraw amount" and select a location from the drop down.

    Thanks again

    Anyway, what I would do is to define coefficients above each column.
    Then you can use same formula for all your columns and also change coefficient without chaning formula.

    Formula: copy to clipboard

    =G$3*SUM($A$3:$A$18)-SUMIF($B$20:$B$40,G$4,$A$20:$A$40)

    I don't know did I get it but maybe this:

    Add -SUMIF($B$20:$B$40, G$4, $A$20:$A$40) at the end of eoach of your formulae.
