Can the above words be used interchangeably? e.g. The table below summarises all the credit entries with an explanation in the case whereby the credit amounts have been adjusted. Thanks!

Hi, Tony,
"whereby" means "by which" or "through which," for example:
- The method whereby the credit amounts have been adjusted is incorrect.
You should use "in case":
- The table below summarizes all the credit entries with an explanation in case the credit amounts have been adjusted.
Thanks Gustavo, what about The table below summarizes all the credit entries with an explanation where the credit amounts have been adjusted.

Yes, that sentence is possible and means:
- The table below summarizes all the credit entries with an explanation in those cases where the credit amounts have been adjusted. (which I find clearer)
