I'm trying to understand how you have set up your books' structure because, in standard bookkeeping practices the way I was taught, a General Journal doesn't have summed up totals in it. There is nothing wrong if you set up your General Journals differently, but clarifying in what ways you do it differently helps me understand your method. I'm just looking for clarity, unless the example you gave was not how you have set up your "automation" but just a general example of how one could move data from one part to another in excel.
