Also, don’t ask each field to do too much. If one cel/field says plaintext “business expense of that one time I went to coffee and spent 3.78” that’s not very powerful. Formatting, and dividing cels is probably most important. So decide what you want your spreadsheet to do, and then for that example I gave you need a checkbox column that is business expense yes/no, you need description so you as a human remember what’s going on, the price, if business miles were driven to get to the coffee then a column to log those. Then it’s just a matter of linking them together, but if you don’t have the concept of your columns established at the beginning, your spreadsheet will have no materials for the formatting to work with.
