Can I use a ProfitDrawer spreadsheet on my phone?

Updated By ProfitDrawer

Short answer

Yes, through Google Sheets. After you import the ProfitDrawer .xlsx file into Google Sheets in your own Google Drive, you can open it in the free ($0) Google Sheets app, which Google says can view and edit Google spreadsheets and Excel files on a phone or tablet. Google notes that large files may not open on every device. The product pages do not describe phone use, so do the setup on a computer.

How to set it up:

  1. On a computer, go to sheets.google.com, choose File > Import > Upload and select Bookkeeping-Template.xlsx, as the included Google-Sheets-Setup.pdf explains.
  2. On your phone, install the Google Sheets app and sign in with the same Google account.
  3. Open the spreadsheet from the app's file list. Changes save automatically; tap outside the cell you are typing in to save it.

Do on a computer: the first setup on the Settings tab and clearing the example rows.

Excel files on a phone: the Google Sheets app can also open .xlsx files, but keep one main copy so your numbers stay in a single file.

In Google Sheets, the Excel cell locks are not kept, so type only in the typing columns (on Mileage: Date, From, To and Miles).
