Hi Manny,

I don’t have MS Excel so I can’t make the file available soon. Have you tried using the current file with Excel? It might still work.

That’s a good idea – to have the savings section before everything else as a reminder to pay oneself first. Thanks Junnette, great tip, I’ll do that for my personal spreadsheet too.

Sorry, I meant that I uploaded your spreadsheet to Google Docs bec. I want it to be accessible anywhere — and that I should start using your spreadsheet and the other tools. (Yan ang hirap when you combine sentences or fragments without rereading the entire thing.) :p

Hey Celine. I was cleaning and backing up my hard drive when I found your spreadsheet again (haha huli ba?). Very timely, because I was budgeting earlier and I was reminded again of the many budgeting tools that I’ve researched and compiled. Now I should really USE them. Since I want it to be accessible anywhere I uploaded the file to Google Docs. Seems to work naman — I will let you know if there’s any macro or formula issues.

This would depend upon the user’s preferences, of course, but I thought that it would be a good idea to put SAVINGS before the UTILITIES section as a psychological reminder that savings should be set aside first, not as an afterthought. Or, since Savings technically isn’t an Expense, to put it on a separate section prior to the latter. Just a suggestion.

(This –and Allan’s comment above–also crystallized my idea for a POST.) Thanks!

@Ning: Thanks for dropping in The problem with saving in excel format via openoffice is that the formulae and some settings don’t always translate well. When I do that, I have to check it in Excel itself afterwards to see if everything converted properly. I’ll definitely upload an Excel version when I get the chance to do that

@emilie: I agree. I don’t know if it’s the same for everyone else, but it loads faster for me too.

Open office is superb. it can open from old .xls files and .xlsx . libre pa .

Hi! Nice spreadsheet. Actually you can save the spreadsheet in excel format. Just use the “save as” option. It will then save it to *.xls format. That way both Open Office and MS Office people can use it without downloading the freeware. ^_^

Sinubukan ko na yung wesabe pero tama ka, hindi applicable yung pag-extract ng transactions sa Philippine bank/credit card accounts.

Oo, free ang Camstudio I-google mo lang.
