Tiller Foundation>Transactions Tab>Column "A" - What is this column used for?

[danbaumanhr]

Sorry if this has been asked and answered, but I have looked and didn’t find an answer.

Can someone explain what the leftmost column of the Transactions tab of the Tiller Foundation Template (Google Sheets) is used for/by? It appears to be empty, except the header row, which contains the Tiller logo.

Thanks,

Dan

Delete 1st column w/ Tiller logo

Column A with the logo was added as a blank filler column because we found that a lot of folks were accidentally deleting the first column in their sheets without realizing it. When the first column was the Date column, that deletion would break the sheet. Feel free to keep notes in this column, use it for something else, or delete it if you’d like. Here’s more on the supported columns in the transactions sheet.

@dmetiller, thanks for the answer. Having worked with spreadsheets for many, many years, I’ve seen that done before, but it’s not what I have normally seen. Typically, a blank column on the left has been used as an indicator of the row needing some special attention, with “==>” being inserted if certain conditions exist, etc.

I won’t delete the column, but I might find a use for it, over time.

Thanks, again!
