BBDBuy Spreadsheet: How to Automatically Calculate Your Total Spending

2025-11-20

If you're making regular purchases through BBDBuy, tracking your expenses manually can be time-consuming and prone to error. The solution? A BBDBuy spreadsheet that automatically calculates your total spending using Excel or Google Sheets formulas!

Imagine having a clear, real-time overview of your costs without lifting a finger after each data entry. This guide will show you exactly how to set it up.

The Essential Components of a BBDBuy Cost Spreadsheet

First, let's structure your spreadsheet. Here’s a simple table with the core data columns you'll need:

Item Name Item Cost (¥) Shipping Fee (¥) Service Charge (¥) Total Cost (¥)
Wireless Earbuds 250 45 25 320
Winter Jacket 400 60 40 500

Automating the Calculation with a Total Formula

The magic happens in the "Total Cost"

In Excel or Google Sheets, for the first row of data (let's say Row 2), you would enter this formula in the "Total Cost" cell (E2):

=B2+C2+D2

This formula adds the value in the Item CostShipping FeeService Charge

How to Apply the Formula to All Rows:

  1. Type the formula
  2. Press Enter. The total for that row will calculate automatically.
  3. To copy the formula down the entire column, simply click on the small square at the bottom-right corner of the cell

Calculating the Grand Total of All Purchases

To see the sum of all

At the bottom of your spreadsheet, in a dedicated cell (e.g., A10), you can write "Grand Total:" and in the adjacent cell (e.g., B10), use the SUM

=SUM(E2:E100)

This formula will add up all the values from cell E2 down to E100 in the "Total Cost" column. You can adjust the range (E2:E100) to match the exact rows in your spreadsheet. Now, every time you add a new purchase, the Grand Total will update instantly.
