What you'll get
A written description of your spreadsheet's purpose (2-3 sentences), the column headers or data fields you need, any specific calculations or rules (e.g., 'multiply quantity by rate, then apply 10% if total exceeds $500'), and your preferred file format (Excel .xlsx or Google Sheets).
Builds the template structure with all column headers, writes formulas for calculations you've requested, applies consistent formatting (font, borders, number formats), populates 3-5 rows of sample data, and drafts a one-page usage guide explaining what each column does and how to add new rows.
One completed spreadsheet file (Excel or Google Sheets link), a text file or PDF with step-by-step usage instructions, and a working example with sample data already filled in so you can see the formulas in action.
Your $25 payment stays held until you confirm the template calculates correctly, the instructions are clear enough for a new user, and the formatting looks professional.
Common use cases
Booth-renter commission tracker for a salon
A salon owner with 6 booth renters needs a weekly template that calculates rent, product sales commission, and net owed to each stylist.
Mileage and per-diem log for a sales rep
A regional sales rep needs a template that auto-calculates IRS mileage reimbursement and per-diem totals from weekly entries for expense submission.
Event Vendor Budget Tracker
A wedding planner manages 15–20 vendors per event and needs a single spreadsheet to track deposits, final payments, what's been invoiced, and what's still owed. The template auto-calculates totals by category (catering, florals, photography) and flags any vendor where payment is overdue. She uses the same template for every wedding, just swaps in vendor names and amounts.
Freelancer Project Profitability Sheet
A graphic designer takes on multiple client projects monthly and wants to know which ones are actually profitable after accounting for revision hours, stock image costs, and software subscriptions. The template lets her log hours, materials, and fees per project, then auto-calculates hourly rate earned and gross margin—so she can stop accepting low-margin work.
Rental Property Maintenance Log
A landlord with three units tracks repairs, tenant requests, and contractor invoices in one place. The template logs the date, unit number, repair type, contractor name, cost, and date completed—and automatically flags any repair that's been sitting open for more than 14 days so nothing falls through the cracks.
Frequently asked questions
Can the student build formulas that reference multiple sheets or pull data from one sheet to another?
Yes. The student can create formulas that link rows and calculations across tabs within the same workbook. For complex multi-sheet workflows involving dozens of rows, confirm the scope during intake—very large linked systems may exceed the 1–2 hour tier.
What if I need formulas with IF statements or conditional logic—like 'charge tax only if the order is over $100'?
Conditional formulas like IF, VLOOKUP, and nested logic are built-in to this tier. The student will write them and include examples in the usage guide so you know how to edit them if your rules change later.
Can I ask the student to make revisions after I see the first version?
Yes. During the 3-day turnaround, you can request minor adjustments—like adding a column, tweaking a formula, or rewording the instructions. Major overhauls (e.g., redesigning the entire layout) might land outside scope; the PM will flag it if needed.
Is the template locked or protected, or can I edit it freely once I get it?
It's unlocked and fully editable. The student will set it up so you can add rows, change formulas, and adjust formatting yourself without restrictions. The instructions explain how the core formulas work so you can modify them safely.
What file format should I request—Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers?
Excel (.xlsx) and Google Sheets are both supported and fully compatible with formulas. Numbers (Mac) is possible but may lose some formula compatibility; confirm with the PM if that's your preference. Most buyers choose Excel or Google Sheets for broader team access.
