Aha! I worked out the error in the conditional formatting and corrected it! Spreadsheet is looking positive, and ahead of our collective total, averaged over 12 months. Two no shows since signing up, have not been on the forum since December/early January. If no show by the end of the month I will delete them

That's regular savers and ad hoc savings eating first for the month.
I will return with RoundUps and underspends (fingers crossed) towards the end of the month. I am also anticipating a little side income to land but never bank them until they're literally in the bank!
