1. The task is to calculate the total expenses for each month by summing all expense categories.
2. For January: Sum all values from row 11 to row 30 in column B (excluding totals and headers).
- Home: $950.00
- Daily Living: $476.00
- Transportation: $195.00
- Total January Expenses = $950.00 + $476.00 + $195.00 = $1,621.00
3. For February: Sum all values from row 11 to row 30 in column C.
- Home: $950.00
- Daily Living: $474.00
- Transportation: $125.00
- Total February Expenses = $950.00 + $474.00 + $125.00 = $1,549.00
4. For March: Sum all values from row 11 to row 30 in column D.
- Home: $1,025.00
- Daily Living: $455.00
- Transportation: $171.00
- Total March Expenses = $1,025.00 + $455.00 + $171.00 = $1,651.00
5. Enter these totals in row 31 under each respective month column (B31, C31, D31).
6. Repeat this process for remaining months (April–December) using available data or zero if no entries exist.
7. Verify that totals match expected values based on input data.
