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.

Seems a bit over the top to me I just use a small note book from partners that I keep in my hip pocket using one page for each street and mark each house with a / as its done and then when its been paid mark over with an \ Ive used this system for the last 20 years and its never let me down.

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.
