Creating effective profit & loss spreadsheets and spreadsheets t

How do I create a spreadsheet that will show what money was received, what was spent, total sales and value of stock to work out the monthly profit?
I currently have a spreadsheet in use that shows the students target grade and their actual grades and I would like to be able to insert both of these into a mail merge (at the same time on the same document), how do I do this?

RE: Creating effective profit & loss spreadsheets and spreadshee

Hi Samantha

Thanks for getting in touch. There's dozens of ways to lay this out depending on what is logical to you. I've attached a Microsoft template, and a very basic one that I've created to give you some ideas.

With regards to your mail merge, this is quite possible but there's quite a few stages in the process. None of them a re tricky but there's a bit of setting up to do. Here's a Microsoft guide on the subject:

If you need further help with this, just let me know.

Kind regards
