<p>[QUOTE=&quot;10gary22, post: 993019, member: 23626&quot;]I have written Excel spreadsheets for everything. It&#039;s not that hard to figure out and with the &quot;sort&quot; capabilities, you can really get a handle on your data. The hardest part is determining how you want to track your data (sortable fields). A few might be; Country, Denomination, year, mint, grade, pic file number, date acquired, value, storage location, slab #, flip #. Using those a column headers then using a row for each coin. Of course, you can use different pages for currency and coins, or just make one large list. I prefer different pages, myself because I don&#039;t have a background with any computer skills, so I keep it simple. </p><p>You can always add another data column, but it requires going back and adding the data. You might consider noting pic file locations as well as the file names if you store a lot of them on disks or zips (or at least note the back-up locations). Since you still need to enter the data, I think the only thing you get with commercial software is graphics ?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I am still learning, but am considering loading the pic file as hyperlinks, so I can go directly to them from the sheet ? I never had a computer before retiring a few years ago, so the learning is by rote and very time consuming. But, with basic knowledge already in hand, I think you could set it up in a couple of hours ?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Adding columns for sales data might not even be a bad idea, in case you do future trading that you need to record.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
