How do you see totals by category in a separate sheet?
Also, what is then the best way to itemize those expenses into sub categories for taxes?
There are a number of ways to see the category or group totals, but if you’re looking to get into details for taxes, I think the ‘Transaction Tracker’ may be most useful for you. You can’t alter the transactions from that sheet, but it does a good job of displaying all the transactions in a category for a set period of time.
I’d really like the same thing. The Category Tracker doesn’t really give me what I want. So maybe a add on question.
If I copy my transaction tab to a net new sheet, is it then entirely isolated from Tiller? Can I slice and dice with impunity? I want to have my Tiller sheet untouched by my transaction shenanigans. Possible?
Yea, you could either copy the Transactions sheet to another sheet with a different name in the same spreadsheet, or copy it to a completely different spreadsheet. It won’t update anymore, and anything you do to it won’t affect the rest of the template.
A couple suggestions:
- A pivot table
- The Category Tracker - left side of it will show you total per category for a selected time range
- For the itemized tax reporting piece, I’d recommend checking out this guide
Does the P&L Report help or am I missing something…?
