Change one or two values in the column and observe the immediate result.
We will calculate the balance on each line. How to calculate the balance (Previous balance +
entries - exits). In cell F4 enter the following formula: =F3+D4-E4. There are 2 ways to
to do
a) While in cell C4, type the sign = then click on cell F3, type the sign +
Click on cell D4, type the minus sign – then click on cell E4. Then confirm by the
green car of the formula bar.
b) You can directly type the formula after selecting cell F3, but it is
less fast and less accurate (possible error in the cell addresses)
The balance of line 4 is displayed. It remains to copy it or drag it from F4 to F19 using the
handle symbolized by the small black cross.
Now we will sum the 'entries' column by placing ourselves in cell E20. Then in

In this sheet, we also want to calculate the amount of VAT and the total including tax on each line.
If we want to continue with the same method, we would need a 'VAT' column to find the rate.
on each line. We have placed this VAT rate in cell B2. But it is necessary to indicate on each
line that we want to use this cell. In cell E5 we enter the formula "=D5*B2/100".
Then, to see our mistake, we pull down the handle of E5. There are inconsistent values because the
cell B2 is not fixed.
FALSE
To make it fixed, you need to modify cell E5 by putting a $ sign in front of B and a $ in front of.
Then pull the handle of E5 and the VAT is correctly calculated for each line.
Now calculate the total including tax in cell F5 with the formula "=D5+E5" and drag down.
In these sheets, only add hours in the "Number of hours" column and look at them.
Calculations will do themselves. You will be able to see the details at home by taking the exercise home.
