<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

Background: Since late last year, my wife and I have been using a pretty standard Office.com budget template.

[Our Template](

If you don't want to comb through it, the budget includes an expense-by-category tracker. Great! This has been helpful.

Because of some overspending in certain areas, I want to make it easier to pinpoint where money is going (without using Mint or similar services...I am ultra paranoid about releasing that information).

As of right now, I have to manually enter and edit the amounts of the expenses into the correct boxes. Possible, but tedious and very susceptible to data-entry errors.

What I would like to add is a more detailed expense tracker. This tracker would, line-by-line, allow for me to enter each expenditure and assign it to 1) a macro-category and 2) a secondary category.

[Example of more detailed expense tracker](

I've made a number of attempts, but **I can't seem to figure out how to carry over these pre-determined categories and sub-categories to the main expense sheet** (shown in original example).
<bot>: Need to add to Excel personal budget template a more detailed-expense tracker. This tracker needs to sum the amounts and place into cell on another sheet based on category and sub-category.
