Using Excel to inventory your collection
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum mods!

I wanted to find a way to keep inventory on all my MAC, since I'm a MA and I like knowing what I have, how many, and especially, the total cost (for tax/business purposes). I downloaded excel, and I had no trouble listing everything and the prices from the MAC website, but the actual coding/spreadsheet functions got me lol... I'm definitely not an accountant. After a couple internet searches on how to do a few things, I created a working spreadsheet that keeps track of all my MAC, and the total cost of my collection.

If anyone is interested, PM me and I will email you mine as a sample, and you can just change all the items and stuff with your collection


I thought I'd share, since people here recommend excel, but no one has really explained how to use it


I hope this helps someone

Re: Using Excel to inventory your collection
LOL...

Awesome. I told my local MA that I used excel to keep track of my MAC and she looked at me funny. Glad to see there are other nerds around...

Re: Using Excel to inventory your collection
I used to use excel too, but I would always forget my list of inventory when I went to MAC. I am NOTORIOUS for buying stuff that I already have. Is it bad to say that the main reason I got an Iphone was so that I could put my spreadsheets on Google Docs and have access to them at all times...

Re: Using Excel to inventory your collection
I use Excel to keep track of my MAC. I usually document what it was, if it was LE or perm, how many I have ever owned, how many empties I have and if I would ever consider buying it again. Glad to see that I am not the only one who does this. Mine isn't pretty though, I barely know how to type in that program lol.

Re: Using Excel to inventory your collection
I use a Access database for mine. It's easy to search for items in database. I never thought about using Excel.

Re: Using Excel to inventory your collection
Tried to PM you but the message said:
  1. riacarolina has exceeded their stored private messages quota and can not accept further messages until they clear some space.
Can you please PM me a sample of your excel spreadsheet?

Thanks!
