Generate Personal Expense and Investment Tracker in Excel and Save to Kuse Library
This workflow helps you manage your finances by generating a comprehensive, professional-grade Microsoft Excel workbook for tracking expenses and investments. You can customize the category lists, income sources, and investment brokers within the generated file to suit your personal financial structure. It uses a custom Python script to build a multi-sheet dashboard with automated charts, data validation dropdowns, and SUMIFS formulas for real-time calculation. In this example, the workflow creates a workbook featuring an auto-updating summary of expenses by category and investments by broker. For each entry, you can track specific details like transaction dates, payment sources, and net balances across 5,000 pre-formatted rows.
