Yesterday we were calculating our Washington trip expenses and it occurred to me that if there is an excel template where I could enter the trip expenses and who paid what to find out how much we need to pay up / collect, it would be great. I looked around for few seconds, couldn’t find anything. So I went ahead and built expense sharing worksheet on google docs. Feel free to use it for sharing your trip / party / picnic / apartment expenses.
Here is how I have done it.
- First I have created a list of people who need to share. Just for simplicity I have limited the no to 10. You can edit the excel and change it if you want.
- Then I have created an expense table like the one shown below. The requirements for this are simple, (1) should be able to capture descriptions of each spending (2) should be able to specify who footed the bill (3) should be able to mention the amount (4) should be able to exclude people from sharing a particular expense. Again, for simplicity sake I have limited the number of people who can be excluded from sharing an expense to 4. You can always edit this and change the formula accordingly.
- Now next to the list of people I have added 3 columns to show (1) how much that person has already paid (2) how much is his/her share (3) what is the difference.
- The formula for (1) how much already paid is straight forward sumif(), the formula for a particular person’s share is something like this,
If the row has a person
(total expenses / no.of people) – (total expenses excluded for this person / no. of people)
else “0”The actual formula involved sumif() over the four columns since each expense can be excluded for maximum of 4 people.
- Once I have entered data the output looked something like this,
Hence both Yerry Jang and Dointy Paired Hilbert need to collect 237 $ and 90 cents from Barren Wuffet, Gill Bates and Beff Jezos put together. Not bad 😉
How to use it?
Just save the expense sharing excel sheet from google doc [or download the expense sharing excel sheet] to your machine / account. Enter the expenses in columns B,C and D. Enter the people names in column L. Incase you need to exclude any one from a particular line item, just enter their number (it will be next to the person’s name in column K]. As you enter the expense details, the Column O displays the actual dues.
Feel free to comment / extend / share / suggest. Your turn…

Infact, instead of using =ISEVEN(B3), how about to use =ISEVEN(ROW())
So it takes away any chance of wrong referencing.
I like Daily Dose of Excel
I like it.
Just a heads up, you do need to have the Analysis ToolPak add-in activated to use the ISEVEN / ISODD functions. An alternative to ISEVEN would be:
=MOD(ROW(),2)=0
rather than use a formula, couldn't you enter "true" in first cell and "false" in the second and drag it down and than filter on true or false.
Just for clarification, is Ashish looking to filter by even or odd Characters or rows?
so many functions to learn!
Nice support by chandoo and team as a helpdesk. Give us more to learn and make us awesome. Always be helpful.......
In case you want to delete instead of filter,
IF your data is in Sheet1 column A
Put this in Sheet2 column A and drag down
=OFFSET(Sheet1!A$1,(ROWS($1:1)-1)*2,,)
(This is to delete even rows)
To delete odd rows :
=OFFSET(Sheet1!A$2,(ROWS($1:1)-1)*2,,)
If your numbered cells did not correspond to rows, the answer would be even simpler:
=MOD([cell address],2), then filter by 0 to see evens or 1 to see odds.
I sometimes do this using an even simpler method. I add a new column called "Sign" and put the value of 1 in the first row, say cell C2 if C1 contains the header. Then in C3 I put the formula =-1 * C2, which I copy and paste into the rest of the rows (so C4 has =-1 * C3 and so forth). Now I can just apply a filter and pick either +1 or -1 to see half the rows.
Another way, which works if I want three possibilities: in C2 I put the value 1, in C3 I put the value 2, in C4 I put the value 3, then in C5 I put the formula =C2 then I copy C5 and paste into all the remaining rows (so C6 gets =C3, C7 gets =C4, etc.). Now I can apply a filter and pick the value 1, 2, or 3 to see a third of the rows.
Extending this approach to more than 3 cases is left as an exercise for the reader.
Another way =MOD(ROW();2). In this case, must to choose betwen 1 and 0.

Thanks for the tip, it worked like magic, saved having to delete row by row in my database.
Thanks!
Thankssssssssssssssss
Hi Chandoo- First of all thanks for the trick. It helped me a lot. Here I have one more challenge. Having filtered the data based on odd. I want to paste data in another sheet adjacent to it. How can I do that?
For Example-
A 1 odd
B 3 odd
C 4 even
D 6 even
I have fileted the above data for odd and want to copy the "This is odd number" text in adjacent/next sheet here. How can I do that. After doing this my data should look like this
A 1 odd This is odd number
B 3 odd This is odd number
C 4 even
D 6 even
Hi! Could you please help me find a formula to filter by language?
Thank you!
Chandoo SIR,
I HAVE A DATA IN EXCEL ROWS LIKE BELOW IS THERE ANY FORMULA OR A WAY WHERE I CAN INSTRUCT I CAN MAKE CHANGES , MEANS I WANT TO WRITE ONLY , THE FIG IS FRESH, BUT IN BELOW ROW IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY TAKE THE SOME WORDS FROM FIGS AND MAKE IN PLURAL FORM , WHILE USING '' ARE'' LIKE BELOW
The fig is fresh - row 1
Figs are fresh - row 2
The Pomegranate is red - row 3
Pomegranates are red - row 4
=IF(EVEN(A1)=A1,"EVEN - do something","ODD - do something else") with iferron (for blank Cell)
