I understand about the Piggybanking technique but what if you can't open six accounts in a bank/banks? I can't as my credit rating is too bad, I have one bank account but can't open any more, no one will have me!

Hello

Im trying to add more rows to the "Enter Other Income Source" part of the spreadsheet, but its not allowing me to do so...saying that the page is "protected". When I try to "Unprotect" it prompts me for a password. Which i obviously dont have.

Im using the spreasdsheet in Office 2007...could this be the problem?

Same problem as Eggfoot. Been trying every whichway to add rows, so would also appreciate some help.

I believe you all know what issues i am going to raise here:
On the What Do You Earn pane there are no I, J and K columns thus the formula that includes to I108:K108 for example appears to be wrong.
When i use it it gives me #REF! error.

This is an interesting one... What version of Excel/Open Office are you using? Would it be possible to post a screenshot of this, obviously removing any personal data before hand..

MS Excel Office 2003.
Screen capture doesn't seem to work but it was a good idea!! I even tried to put it on Google Docs ... lol


The top runs from ... E F L M N ....
Im in Part B and the formula starts with =(SUM(I108:K108)>1, "ERROR" ....
Needless to say repayments total is #REF! too

The budget planner is a great tool. :rotfl:
I was thinking of modifying it to enter dates for income and bank-automated expenditure so I can visualise my net worth weekly and restirct other spending.
Is there any chance you can provide the password to unprotect the workbook?:rolleyes:

Hi All

Ive downloaded the budget planner spreadsheet, but I get a notification that it is read only. When I try to unprotect it using the review tab, Im asked for a password. Have I done something wrong when I downloaded?

My guess is you've just clicked it; rather than right click and saved it?

Hi Martin

Tried again, right clicked and saved as but it's still password protected:(
