Retirement....The best thing I ever did Judd....
As a self employed courier back in the day there were very few decent accounting apps so I just made up lots of excel sheets for this and that. I did my own accounting and VAT, produced invoices and sent in my tax returns every April.

I got very good at cobbling together spreadsheets and databases, all self taught by the way, and even made one that calculated how much diesel I used and how much to charge the customer just by entering the distance.

Now I just make them up for fun, and produce graphs with the stats.
I got my old computer working the other day, it still has Vista as the O/S and it's still got microsoft works, although all my business stuff was in word or excel, there are some good features on works that I haven't found on excel though, and I might have a poke around on it.

I wrote one too, you can get it from here:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1keG...ew?usp=sharing

It has macros to make it work properly using forms so you might have to tell your copy of Excel to allow them to run but they are quite harmless. Definitely no malware in there

I wrote it so long ago I have forgotten how it works exactly despite using it every time I fill up with fuel. I might up date it one of these days.

That's awesome Bruce and far more functional as the one I made. Could have done with that when I was couriering....
