Hi Guys,

I've had a few work sheets that calculate interest and time on regular payments but what I am looking for is something a bit more complex and I can't seem to work it out. I feel like I'm missing something really simple that I should know.

ABCDE
1 Principle $ 8,000.00 $ 8,000.00 $ 9,500.00 $ 4,200.00
2 Current $ 7,635.27 $ 5,340.03 $ 9,245.00 $ 4,184.63
3 Available $ 364.73 $ 2,659.97 $ 255.00 $ 15.37
4 Payment $ 1,000.00 $ 5,340.03 $ - $ -
5 Date Due29141128
6 Interest1.90%2.33%2.08%1.73%
7 Interest in $ $ 144.69 $ 124.60 $ 192.60 $ 72.36
8 Date Interest Added2919202
9 Current + Interest $ 6,635.27 $ - $ 9,245.00 $ 4,184.63

Essentially what I want is the current balance to automatically update to current + interest on a certain date.
For example in B8 the date interest is added is =day(29) and on that day I would like B6*B2 (which is B7) to be added to B9. I have that part worked out (with the forumla =IF(DAY($N$1)=29,B4+B9,B4-B6) ) so essentially if it's not that day I want it to minus the Payment made (B4) from the current (B2). The problem is when the date moves past the 29th it reverts back to B2 - B4.

This part is just a bonus if possible - I would love for the Current + interest or B9 to automatically update current (2) before the due date (B5) so that when I put how much the company has paid I don't have to update B2 and then B4.

I'm not sure if that all makes sense...

Thanks in advance.

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
For the first part of your problem I think all you need to do is to change your formula to test whether the current day is Greater than OR Equal to 29 - not just Equal to, i.e.

IF(DAY($N$1)>=29,B4+B9,B4-B6) )
