Auto-populate a balance sheet?

M

I have set up my finances using excel 2010. My first sheet is my balanc
sheet, and I have 7 or 8 other sheets that are sub accounts. Is there
way I can auto populate my balance sheet in sheet 1 by inputting dat
randomly into the other sheets? For example

Sheet 1
Date | Description | Debit | Credit | Balance

Sheet 2

02-17-2012 | Groceries | (Debit 15.13) | Balance 106.35

02-18-2012 | Paycheck | (Credit 125.00) | Balance 131.35

Sheet 3

02-17-2012 | Gas | (Debit 20.00) | Balance 135.00


Is there a function I can put into sheet 1 so that when I enter dat
into sheet 2 or 3 it auto populates sheet 1? I only want the date
description, and whether its a debit or credit to populate... not th
balance

See help on "linking"

Basic linking formula.........in A1 of Sheet1 enter =Sheet2!A1 to
return those cell contents from Sheet2 back to Sheet1
