Default Running totals in excel


Good afternoon all.

I need a little assistance with using spreadsheets to keep an
inventory updated. I have 7 column headings each referring to a
different type of equipment. I have another column for a date, one
representing whether the the equipment was shipped or received and
finally which facility was receiving or shipping the product.
So in each row I would enter a date, how many pieces of equipment was
either shipped or received and then the shipping / receiving facility.

My questions are, how would I keep a running total of a particular
facilities current inventory with so many shipments and deliveries?

Secondly, would it be easier to make a different worksheet for each
facility? And keep track that way?

This is the first time using this forum so any help would be greatly
appreciated.

This is not the type of problem Excel is very well suited for.
But it can be done; check:
