    <p>Hopefully the formatting of the answer is sufficient enough to answer your question.</p> <p>You will also need to know what the start date is of payments for each person. That way you don't have to worry too much about doing lookups, range offsets, macros or user defined functions. Assuming the following headings are on the first row</p> <pre><code>A B C D E F G Name Start Date Jan-11 Feb-11 Total Paid #Payment Months Total Owed </code></pre> <p>Your formula and values for the second row would then look like the following (Column and Row number provided):</p> <pre><code>A2: Bob B2: Jan-2011 C2: 5 D2: E2: =SUM(C2:D2) F2: =ABS(IF(DAY(B2)&gt;=DAY(TODAY()),0,-1)+(YEAR(B2)-YEAR(TODAY())) *12+MONTH(B2)-MONTH(TODAY())) G2: = (F5 * 5) - E5 </code></pre> <p>The F2 formula is based off <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/214134" rel="nofollow">this article</a> to calculate the number of months elapsed from your start date. There are most likely other ways to do this but this just illustrates the point.</p> <p>We can then multiply the number of months which have elapsed from the start date with the monthly rate and subtract the result from the total amount paid to date (G2).</p> <p>The above should give the answer of Owed = 10. March would be included in the calculation even though it wasn't listed. Simply insert the columns for the months as needed and ensure the formula in E2 covers all the required cells. You can also replace the Today() function call in the F2 cell to point to another date if that suites your needs better. Also it would make sense to replace the magic number 5 in the G2 formula with some sort of constant such as MONTHLY_RATE perhaps.</p>

    2. COWhat I am saying is that you can calculate the amount owed by calculating [Number of Months] * [Rate Per Month] - [Total Amount Paid]. The above just includes all the formulas to do that.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
