    Hi EagerLearner

    Your spreadsheet looks great but I can't seem to get it to do what I want. Basically I have various savings pots with HBOS but their rate is poor now. I'd like to move them to a better paying account but very few do "pots". So if I move the whole lot to one account I'd like to still keep track of what was in each pot.

    How do I get your spreadsheet to do this?;

    1. Start with the amount I have currently in each pot.
    2. Allow a monthly deposit into each pot.
    3. Allow for taking a withdrawal as necessary.

    Hopefully you can help as i can't seem to get my head around making my own spreadsheet to do it.

    I just wanted to add my name to the list of thank you's... It's one thing seeing the debt in numbers, but for me it's a whole other thing seeing it in chart form. I think this is going to be great for motivating me even more :).

    Hi Nichelette - glad you like it and really hope it helps - I know that MSE and that spreadsheet have helped me keep on top... especially the savings tower which really motivates me... do drop me a PM or a message on here if you need any help at all x
