Spreadsheet help, please.

ooh la la, 31 May, 2009 at 09:30 Posted on Planning 0 10

I know that a lot of you ladies use spreadsheets for your planning and find them very useful. I am now going to be uber-cheeky and ask if any of you have blank ones that you wouldn't mind emailing me. I haven't used Excel since year 9 at school, so don't have the foggiest, with regards to setting one up!

Did you just use them for budgeting, or other things too?

Thanks in advance.

    I used mine for keeping tabs on guests and for budgets.....

    just played about with all the cells and when I wanted to add things up its

    =SUM(the cell+thecell) or if you want more cells than that then drag the coloured highlight up and down the column......tho theres other ways!

    I didnt make mine particularly fancy, just lists really..

    We've just got a budget one so far - I can send you that. Plan to put one together with a guest list and another one with sort of a project plan on.

    Ahh thanks.

    I just wanted one for general, initial budgeting really. (I don't even know what I'm supposed to budget for yet!)

    Maybe I should just used the one on here as a template?

    Wasting no time getting stuck in I see!

    I have one spreadhseet with a page for each of the following; (I am a bit of an Excel geek though!)

    Budget (column for planned spend, actual spend, paid so far, to be paid)

    Guest list (inc whether, adult, child, day or evening, then Invitation sent, RSVP recd, attending/not attending, dietary requirements) This also has a pivot table so I can work out total numbers easily.

    Suppliers (inc name, address, quote, phone number, e-mail, website, notes)

    To do list (with to be done by column so can sort by order they need to be done in)

    Timings, so I can work out how everything fits in on the day.

    I also have one for other notes, such as service details, songs I like.

    I'm off out on a long bike ride now, if no-ones supplied you something by the time I get back I'll blank some of mine out, tidy it up and send over to you.

    Wow - wasn't expecting so many responses. Thanks everyone. I'm getting stuck in, as S-K said, because now my family have heard, they want to know how much money we are planning on spending. (I believe that this is because Mum wants to give us some money towards something, ie photographer or flowers.) rob and I just want to plan out what amounts we will allocate to what and how many people and who, we roughly want to invite.

    Any spreadsheets will be gratefully received, thanks.

    Many thanks again. xx

    I've only got the tableplanning one left now, as I still use if when I do tableplans, its really good for when you have to plan your room and great to give to your venue for setting up. Let me know if you want a copy and I'll send one over to you (or anyone who wants it )
