Hello
I would like to be able to keep track of the allotted hours remaining for particular tasks.
We use a workbook for each day, emailing the time sheet to our main office. I enter the hours spent on a task and they are subtracted from the budget hours.
The next day I 'save as' the previous day's time sheet, make the required changes and send it off.
I would like to keep a running total of remaining hours as the number decreases from day to day.

Example:

I5=H5-J5
I6=H6-J6
I7=H7-J7
J4=SUM(C4:F4)
J5=SUM(C5:F5)
J6=SUM(C6:F6)
J7=SUM(C7:F7)


Thanks
