There are various ways you could approach this problem. For example, in columns B & C you could have formulae like:
=IF(MOD(A11,14)=1,"Income Lori",IF(MOD(A11,14)=6,"Income Dave",""))
and:
=IF(MOD(A11,14)=1,800,IF(MOD(A11,14)=6,1000,""))
respectively, to generate the income projections. The formulae could be extended to incorporate debits, etc., too, but you need to consider how you'd want to handle the fairly common occurrence of multiple transactions occurring on the same date. Obviously, a formula can't insert extra rows for a date, so you'd probably need to allow for more than one to be handled in each column.

This would also be somewhat easier to manage if you had separate columns for debits and credits.
