To create a travel expense spreadsheet similar to what you described, you can use Microsoft Excel, which is part of Microsoft 365. Excel allows you to set up a spreadsheet with sections for different types of expenses, including travel expenses and gas expenses with mileage tracking.
Here’s a basic outline of how you can set it up:
- Create a new Excel workbook.
- Set up your sections:
- Expenses Section: Create columns for date, description, amount, and category (e.g., lodging, meals).
- Gas Expenses Section: Create columns for date, mileage, gas price, and total cost.
- Formulas: Use formulas to calculate totals for each section, such as summing up the expenses or calculating the total mileage.
- Formatting: You can format the cells for better readability and organization.
If you're looking for templates or more detailed guidance, you might find downloadable templates online or within Excel itself under the template gallery.
