Questions & answers
Which programs does it work in?
Microsoft Excel on a computer, the Excel app on iPhone and iPad, Google Sheets (with a free Google account) and LibreOffice Calc (free, on Windows, Mac or Linux).
Can I use it on my phone or tablet?
Yes, in the Excel app on iPhone and iPad: add a cost, tick PAID?, pick who paid and read your totals. The charts, printing and Savings Plan are best on a computer. There is no Calc app for iPhone or iPad.
How many costs can I track?
150 (the large sample wedding has 44).
Can several people share the cost?
Yes. Who Pays takes up to 10 names and shows what each person has paid and still has to pay.
Does changing the currency convert my amounts?
No. The currency symbol changes only the symbol. HOME CURRENCY shows your totals in a second currency, using the rate you type.
Can I edit it?
Yes. You type in the cells marked with a pencil. Calculated cells are protected with no password, and sorting and filtering are turned off on purpose so your formulas stay linked to the right rows.
Does it print?
Yes. In Excel and LibreOffice Calc it is set up for US Letter; in Google Sheets you choose the print settings when you print. Dates are in English (month/day/year).
How do I get the Google Sheets version?
The PDF in the Google Sheets folder has two links, one for the blank tracker and one for a filled example. Each link makes your own copy in your Google Drive. FILLED EXAMPLE 2 and the color variants are Excel files.
What is different in LibreOffice Calc?
The formulas, drop-downs, links, protection and 8 charts are the same as in Excel. Links between tabs open with Ctrl+click (Cmd+click on Mac), every tab opens at 100% zoom, and chart colors and fonts can look slightly different.
Do I need an internet connection?
The Excel and LibreOffice Calc files work offline. Google Sheets needs an internet connection.
