I have a simple list of dollar amounts ($ 100) in a table. No empty boxes.
One debit--entered ($ 175). The sum is wrong. Can't figure out why! Please
help!!
Thank you

A little more information about your table and it's contents might help
us answer your inquiry. Are you attempting an accounting like function
like a balance sheet or check book reconciliation? Have you done any
online searches for templates?

Are you putting the debit(s) in the same column with the other dollar
amounts (credits?)?

While we don't need the specific dollar amounts, what are the contents
of the other cells?

Does the amount of the "error" have any recognizable mathematical
relationship to the debit, like being twice the amount? If so, perhaps
debits require a minus sign. As an alternate, perhaps you need a cell
with the total of the other cells, then subtract the debit from that total.

Hi BandTreasurer,

Are you using formfields in a protected document to hold the values, or simply values input into a table in an unprotected document?

What is your formula?
