    Excel can be used for many purposes as it is both a Spreadsheet and a database. You have been given a chart of accounts and opening balances so there are many things you can do and various ways to do it depending upon how many individual sheets you want to construct and how much programming you want to do.

    But the real question is not whether I can do it but what your effort looks like. I think a program like quicken or quickbooks would be useful in doing this assignment
