<p>[QUOTE="mynamespat, post: 3050857, member: 83738"]Learning to create spreadsheets is a super useful skill that can used in so many different fields. I highly suggest you play around with it and learn to make something simple. Then as you learn more your spreadsheet can become more advanced. Even if the spreadsheet is only 4 or 5 columns of data, it will be a great learning experience.</p><p>As someone who is perpetually adding my old inventory to my computerized list, I can say for a fact the best time to start is when a collection is small. I'm at the point where it's easier to just sell some coins than it is to catalogue every single one. </p><p><br /></p><p>My spreadsheet is pretty darn complicated. It's about 6 or 7 different layers. I have a summary page, individual coin inventory page, group coin inventory page, sold individual coin page, sold group coin page, and a group purchase page. Each page has a column for: Country, Date, MM, denomination, catalogue ID, grade, grading company, purchase date, purchase price, purchased from, notes, sale date, sale price, and buyer. I like a lot information. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> However, even if you just start with the basic info (country of origin, date, mm, denomination), it will make it easier in the long run if you decide to make your sheet more complex.

As someone who is perpetually adding my old inventory to my computerized list, I can say for a fact the best time to start is when a collection is small. I'm at the point where it's easier to just sell some coins than it is to catalogue every single one. My spreadsheet is pretty darn complicated. It's about 6 or 7 different layers.

Each page has a column for: Country, Date, MM, denomination, catalogue ID, grade, grading company, purchase date, purchase price, purchased from, notes, sale date, sale price, and buyer. I like a lot information. :) However, even if you just start with the basic info (country of origin, date, mm, denomination), it will make it easier in the long run if you decide to make your sheet more complex.
