Download starting Sheet

I now want to calculate how many days ago I spend the money, but I forgot to add a heading for that. I'll need to insert a column.

Steps:

  1. Select cell F1
  2. Press CTRL + SPACE
  3. Press CTRL + SHIFT + +
  4. Type: "Days Ago" in F1

NOTE:

  • Inserting a column does not affect the formulae we have entered
  • Excel cleverly preserves the formatting

Your sheet should now look like this
