[QUOTE="Chapdog, post: 95917, member: 1928"]OK, after talking to a couple of my more computer expert buddies I'm growingly intrigued by the Excel-build-your-own-spreadsheet approach. I know this sacrifices the automatic value update feature however 1) they seem to be off or not very current on the values and more importantly, 2) I think someone was right in saying it is part of the fun to revise values each year. This would solve my hand-transfer-human-error concerns, allow for a far less clunky process and summaries, and be much less onerous to maintain than anything I've tried to date. Maybe it's not the full blown program writing some have suggested but will offer most everything I am interested in. I've drafted one myself but it seems pretty simple with only date, mintmark, quantity, condition, value, amount, purchace price, and notes columns. Totals of each category (sheet) would go automatically to a summary sheet. Any body have a Excel coin inventory template they are willing to share?[/QUOTE]
