Gaining control of your business or personal finances starts with clear visibility. With the Joyagoo Spreadsheet, you can efficiently track your budget by leveraging powerful built-in functions. This guide will walk you through creating a comprehensive monthly report to calculate total spend, shipping costs, and average quality control pass rates.
Setting Up Your Monthly Tracking Sheet
Begin by opening a new Joyagoo Spreadsheet. Create column headers for each key data point you need to track. Common headers include:
- Date:
- Item/Description:
- Category:
- Amount Spent:
- Shipping Cost:
- QC Status:
- Item/Description:
Enter your data consistently throughout the month to ensure accurate reporting.
Utilizing Built-in Functions for Calculations
The real power of Joyagoo lies in its functions. Use them to automate your monthly totals and metrics.
1. Calculate Total Monthly Spend

=SUM(D2:D100)2. Calculate Total Shipping Cost
=SUM(E2:E100)3. Calculate Average Monthly QC Pass Rate
AVERAGE
=AVERAGE(F2:F100)
