Put a total in a moving address

[StanSchroeder]

Column A B C D E F
482201 Douglas $20.00 7/1/11 C 7
...
...
... 482204 Douglas $35.00 8/2/11 D 7



Mr Douglas paid $20.00. I want that amount to go into another sheet
at C7. Now next time his payment should go into D7. I have generated
the C and the 7 and have no problem generating the next address of D 7.

I was looking at = IF ( c3>0, sheet1! n1 n2,"" )

C3 is where the $20.00 is located.
N1 is the result from column E
N2 is the result from column F

by combining N1 & N2 I get the address of where to send the $20.00

so by formula I would get: = IF ( c3>0, sheet1! C7,"" )

How do I take the results Found in Columns E and F and make them part of my IF statement?

A formula cannot "send" a value to another cell. A formula can only return or calculate a value to the cell that the formula is located in.

You could do it the other way around. Have on Sheet1 in Cell C7 a formula that looks up the 1st instance if Douglas and return its value from the data sheet column C. Then in cell D7, a formula that looks up the 2nd instance of Douglas and return its value...etc.
