The Quack Shack

Who's good with Google Sheets?

I want to make some spreadsheets to track income and expenses so I can see what my birds are costing me, lol. I want to do one column that's the date, another that's a description of what the expense or income was, a column for incomes and a column for expenses, and I'd like the sheet to keep a running total for me. But I have NO idea how to use formulas.

This might not be something you really want to do. I did it once and found out I spend too much on birds.

I'm intending to try to run the quail part of my farm as a business. If they don't make profit, they're gonna go, so I mostly want the sheet for them, lol.

I tried it with Google Shits and it turned out not to be flexible enough, so i wrote myself a little Database-Application:

If you have enough birds (and data) that it is too much for pen and paper i would rather go with a real Database, like MySQL, SQL-Server or Oracle before staring with a spreadshit that won't do the job.

Tell. Me. About. It:

That is the statistic for the last 18 months. Wifie doesn't know! If she finds out…

Have you tried LibreOffice? https://www.libreoffice.org/discover/libreoffice/
You could use the Calc program: https://www.libreoffice.org/discover/calc/
Or the Database: https://www.libreoffice.org/discover/base/
It is the same as Micro$oft Office but free for free people.

Good morning folks

@Pyxis if you truly want to pursue sheets, I can help but hillbilly is right that you'd be better served with a database.

Good Morning! I'd never try and keep a record I know I spend mucho on my birds. But they are worth it. Of course I only have 31 birds too.

Morning Bob, you do the same. How's Sue doing?

She's doing pretty well. Her wrist is healing nicely and we have her headaches mostly under control. She still has swelling in her hand, so we need to figure out what's going on there as well as figuring out why her knee quits from time to time.
