Most amazing website for Budgets and Spreadsheets

FireWyrm

Hi All

Browsing across the internet tonight, I came across this site : http://www.vertex42.com/

They have FOR FREE, an amazing array of budgeting tools and spreadsheets. I've only just started exploring, but it seems well worth the effort. For all those who are not Excel experts (me included), this looks like the perfect solution.

Please note : Some of these spreadsheets obviously use macros and *could* pose a risk to a computer. If you are unfamiliar with the concepts behind macros then dont use these spreadsheets. They belong to someone else, not me.

Thanks for finding these and sharing, they are brilliant. Very useful indeed.

Thanks Firewyrm - Brilliant and easy to understand.

Bumping one more time in case people missed it

Budget-Calculator.xls is the best one of the lot beside the snowball calculator and the mortgage calculator. I was playing with it last night and barring the ability to import transactions and reconciliation that YNAB offers, it is probably one of the most comprehensive budget spreadsheets I've seen.

They are free for personal use. I'm not selling them nor seeking to make financial gain in any way. I put them there for my convenience. If it makes you feel better, you can view them at source and download them from there, I gave you the URL for them. The spreadsheets have not be doctored by me in any way and no internal branding has been removed. I dont see what argument they could have. If you dont want to use those ones, the spreadsheets I posted in the directory above it are entirely my own work and offered free to anyone who wishes to use them.

Perhaps you should read it. It is a private drop box. I havnt changed anything in them, stripped logos or derived anything out of them. I put them there for my personal use. I am not making any money out of it. You are entirely free to visit the source link as I indicated and download your own copies too.

Stop trying to make this out as being anything other than it is. If you want a copy and it bothers you, go direct to the publisher.

Check, they are not included in anything I have done. The other spreadsheets are entirely my own work

Check. Not commercial use. They are not being sold.

Check. I advise you explicitly to stop reading into something entirely innocent and go download your own copies from their website via the source link provided in the first post which is their website.

I don't know what is unclear about that. You have put it on a personal dropbox that is publically available to others.
