Dave,

Nice spreadsheet, I use similar but different.

I have a column with an area code from 1 to 12.  I list everything alaphbetical and then use the area code column to do a 'sort' which puts my work into groups.

I just copy the spreadsheat to a 'working list' document, highlight the area code, do an A to Z sort and hey presto, my work is organised into groups.

I just delete the rows of houses I don't want to clean and print off the spreadsheet remaining.

I also use a column to put an 'X' into those accounts who still owe me.  Those who've paid stay blank; I'm not interested in them.

When collecting, I just copy the spreadsheat to a 'working list' document, highlight the payment column, and then sort using the A to Z function.

Hey presto, I've a list of people who owe me money.  I just delete those who don't.

I reckon I spend twenty minutes a week updating and manipulating my spreadsheet.

Don't forget about data backup up.

George,

Not a silly question iff you,re not me!

D = Date done
P = Date paid

B/F is the column to add any jobs owing before the start of the book

Check out the example doc

Tosh,

This is a paper version and is filled in in round order so you just keep on working through it and filling in.  From the Dates you can write out a sales account.

I will get admin to post an instruction document.

Interesting and helpfull. Dave in word Tosh in Excel. We all have to do this and I thought they made a good job of being simple and systematic.
Also it's interesting that the notebook user get's it from a computer and office supplier.(staples)

I started with a paper book if you lose it your in trouble as it could fall into wrong hands. (not sure your coustomers would be happy knowing there details are scribbled in a book (think data protection) what is this place coming too.

i started with word, then to excel, I am now sampling a tech wizards database for doing the daily work, work totals etc. seems to be much easier and autobacks up to my second portalable HD.
