software

I have about 3 weeks experience with excell and have set up a simple
spreadsheet to show customers on a trash collection route. The
customers rates are not all the same so the amount they pay is in one
column. The amount they have due is in another column and the amount
paid in another. I need to post the monthly rate to the amount due
column on the first of the month adding it to whatever balance they may
have and be able to subtract any payments made from the account too. Any
ideas how to set thid up? I am just beginning to understand the way
functions and arrays work from reading the book I bought from this
site. It is a little hard to learn it overnight though and I sure would
appreciate and jumpstart I can get

Thanks

I appreciate the help but as I mentioned earlier, I am a total newbie to
Excel. Is there some way you could draw me a picture like they do for
preschool kids. I see what you posted and know what you mean but have
no idea how to put it into the spreadsheet to make it work. Just think
of me as someone who does not speak your language at all. (Excel
language) I know, get someone else to do the spreadsheet but then how
will I learn?

Thanks again--
