Sometimes, the biggest obstacle to sharing your creations is protecting the privacy of your personal financial data. Whether the issue is screenshots or spreadsheet shares, we’ve got you covered.
I built up a new Foundation Template with artificial data that roughly matches up with income streams and expenditures of a generic household. There are periodic rent and paychecks, there are roughly balanced budgets with some variability month to month, and all the data is categorized.
The three-year data set is structured to always be “current” by mapping dates to begin at the end of the current month. (So, if today is March 15th, the newest transaction will be a few weeks into the future at the end of March.)
It’s an interesting idea, @richl, but where would that function even go? (I can imagine that being helpful for some demonstration templates… like yours.)
(The intent was more for demonstration/screenshot content than for serving it as a ready to use template prepopulated with data.)
Honestly it could be for both scenarios I have a reset function that I use to clear my sample data in the various sheets . For tiller you could add it to the tools section add sample data/ clear sample data
Thanks for setting up this spreadsheet with sample data. This really helps!!
But, I noticed that “Balance History” sheet is missing some fields that are part of the default template, such as “Balance ID”, “Month”, “Week”, “Account Status” & “Date Added”.
Just wanted to let you know so that you can update the sheet, as there might be others who are referencing this sample sheet for sharing their templates, who could run into an issue.
