Builders
This quarter we are recognizing seven popular Show & Tell contributions— the top four in the Sheets category as well as the top 3 Excel contributions— based on your voting.
Coming in as the top 2 Google Sheets templates with 16 votes each are @bill 's Asset Allocation and Portfolio Management, which allows investment allocation within accounts into up to 38 different buckets, and @Mark.S 's Data Checker Tool which is created as a check for common problems with Transactions/Categories/Accounts data. We will be awarding $500 each to @bill and @Mark.S. Congratulations guys!
Coming in next with 12 votes for the Google Sheets solutions is Investment Returns (Monthly, Annual, Total, XIRR)! by @Cowboy13. This solution automates the calculation of monthly, annual, and XIRR returns on market investments and contains 3 sheets for various account types. @Cowboy13 will receive $350!
With 11 votes is @jpfieber’s solution Envelope Register - Google Sheets which is a virtual envelope solution meant to enable making any Category, Group or Tag an envelope or any other custom column. We are awarding $350 for this one as well.
The top 3 Microsoft Excel solutions are as follows:
-
With 7 votes is the Ad Hoc solution to support sub-categories workflow by @jcw0207 showing a clever way to have a ‘compound’ string to include a category and sub-category separated by a colon for use within your workbook for more detailed organization of your data. We will be awarding this solution $500.
-
Another 7 votes has gone to How to Reduce File Size by 6MB in the Tiller Foundation Template by @bdunks who has done a great job running down some cruft in the Monthly Budget. Thank you for the great work here and detailed instructions; we will also be awarding $500 to @bdunks.
-
And finally 3 votes for Expense Forecasting and seeing upcoming expenses on a Calendar - UPDATED 4/15/24 by @alan.heatherley, such a handy solution which takes a list of recurring bills or expenses and generates a list of upcoming dates for those expenses. We will award $350 to @alan.heatherley.
We highly appreciate the dedication and willingness of our builders to share these solutions. We encourage everyone to keep that appreciation visible by continuing to vote for the templates you’ve found most helpful. Votes will continue to accrue for all of the Show & Tells which just missed this award cycle.
And don’t be shy about sharing your templates and workflows. We look forward to seeing your creations in Q3.
Giving it right back
There’s something to be said about the feeling of being part of a community and the lift of the support one gets from it. This part is the most rewarding (pun unintended but we’ll take it) of the process. It’s a pleasure to throw the inspiration and motivation right back to you guys. Enjoy the summer while continuing to keep an eye on those precious assets! Catch you next quarter!
