listen. I hate Excel. I am worthless and I cannot understand for the life of me how to use it.

Are there any business owners here? Please I am looking for someone that is familiar with cost control/money reports via Excel formulas. Basically calculating EBITDA.

I am really annoyed with Excel. Are there Excel masters out there?

PLS respond if u r

Call up your accountant, or whoever does your taxes, he/she should know.

Have you tried looking up an excel self-help guide of some sort, to find the formulas needed?

BTW, I hate excel myself.

I have an accountant. I get reports every 4 weeks. But I do these excel sheets weekly to calculate my monthly bonus and how my operations are running. I don't do it by choice, I have to. EVEN though I get a report from the accountant every period, I still have to do my own.

I have not looked at guides. I am just angry because I have a meeting tomorrow and I haven't done this shit yet. The sheet that I was using worked fine, but now I have to use a new one and I just don't understand.

fuck it

I make the invoices for our business in Excel but its mostly basic stuff.

Pretty much add everything together + tax etc. Not sure if i can help you out but i know what would.

Lynda.com - Excel 2007 Essential Training (www.softzone.org) : Books > Ebooks - Mininova

Thats a video tutorial abut the basics of excel. Very easy to follow and it might teach you what you are looking for.

If you have any specific questions just Pm me or something maybe i can help.

I had a class about quantitative methods in which I had to learn Excel. I hated it but Excel was actually not that hard.

Oh and I don't see what's that hard in calculating your EBITDA honestly... Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. It's harder to calculate net salary.

EBITDA ss your gross salary, or how my accounting teacher once said : "It's the money you students have for porn, beer and cellphones after paying the rent"

No, EBITDA you actually have to calculate. Net sales are automatic. You basically just add up each day for net sales. But net sales mean nothing to me because that's not what goes into my pocket, EBITDA does.

I'll have to upload my excel file to show you.
