    This is insanely helpful, especially as someone very intimidated by both expense tracking and sheets. You made it so easy to follow and made me a little more confident about learning the tool and getting my finances under control. Thank you so much!

  • @SylwiaUrban
    @SylwiaUrban Před 8 měsíci +9

    Brian, I can't thank you enough for this video! I've been tracking my expenses since 2017, I experimented with numerous versions, created my own, used mobile applications but without a doubt, the one you've shared is the most exceptional. I've already started to use it, I slightly customized it so that it fits better to what I need. I've always struggled with sheets having too much information that I ended up not analyzing it at all. Your solution is incredibly precise and minimalist while capturing the core of financial tracking. Thank you!

    Hi!
    This is, for me, the best "easiest way" for create an efficient financial tracker on google sheets.
    Super simple to do and it works really good!
    I really appreciate that video.
    Thank you!

  • @edsterling5258
    @edsterling5258 Před 11 měsíci +20

    Tip: on the transactions tab, arrange activity in chronological order, oldest at the top, add new current rows at the bottom. Why? Doing so spares you the hassle of INSERTING a new row for every single event. There are ample empty rows at the bottom. Plus, chronological order just makes sense to view. Bonus tip: place a running sum column on the right side of the main tab. Just be sure to count income as a positive and expenses as a negative. (I've been doing this since the 1990s.) Good video.

    • @Jonesy02445
      @Jonesy02445 Před 11 měsíci

      You mind sending a formula for that?

    • @alexiamcbride7441
      @alexiamcbride7441 Před 10 měsíci

      ⁠@@Jonesy02445 =SUM(Cell#:Cell#) In the paranthesis are the cells you want to calculate Example: (A1:A10). This is a formula that works in Excel I’m going to assume its the same as Google Sheets I could be wrong, but if you can locate the autosum function and click on it when you are at the bottom of the sheet then you can use it as a Total row.

    • @joukenienhuis6888
      @joukenienhuis6888 Před 10 měsíci +1

      Isn’t the running sum column just the same as the net income table ? Or do you mean the sum of the transactions ? That also requires a starting total of the balance

    • @wallstreettrader1
      @wallstreettrader1 Před 9 měsíci

      A running sum can REALLY slow down the processing speed of even a fast computer. His method avoids this, and is worth the extra effort.

    This is one of the best 20 minutes spent watching a video.
    A tool that one can use for life and with spreadsheets from different developers being similar enough in how they work, this video can help with Excel, Softmaker, Open Office, Free Office, etc.

    OMG This is the best video I have ever come across. Your voice is so calming and you take your time in explaining each step without screaming or loud using too many unnecessary words which is so vital to understand. This is my 1st time doing a google sheet and I'm so stoked that I could create one while watching your video simultaneously. Thank you so very much.

    @same4424 Před 9 měsíci

    Thanks for this amazing and simple method. For a guy like me monitoring money is a must and what way better than knowing what each column actually does rather than using apps that confuse you. Also, with this way, as I created it my own(with your help), I will now make sure I script everything in it, and won't be the lazy guy again. Thanks again and I wish you good health and peace. :)

      Is it possible to change the designated "accounting" currency from $ to whatever applies to my country? I like that it is separated, instead of the "Currency" option where the symbol sticks to the number, which is not visually appealing imo.
