Financial Trip Planning Spreadsheet

Very Nice

Thanks for the resource

I just opened v3 with OpenOffice and everything looks fine. The graphs update and the notes show.

Just thought I'd let you guys know, I finally got around to adding "2 bike" functionality. Check out v4 on my site.

good job.. could come in handy for sure.

I don't use a spreadsheet for Trip Planning, but I do use one during the trip to log all my expenses so that I can pass that info along to others.

Great, Now I know how much my trip will cost and I don't think I want to go. Just kidding.
May I suggest total cost per mile traveled?
That way you can have a contest to see who's the cheapest bastard on the road.

Great job, and thanks for sharing! v4 opened and operated great in excell and openoffice. Now to plan that trip to Mexico... which, due to a recent business venture to China by a compadre, may end up being an adventure to MONGOLIA! If I can quote(somewhat) a recent voicemail... " Mongolia... (followed by several seconds of silence, then a giggle) Mexico ain't %$#@!"

Thanks again!

I'm a cheap bastard, and I like this thing... but since I'm one to hardly plan, it's a little hard for me to use.

How can I possibly know in advance my average cost for food? How can I know the percentage of times I'm going to camp?

For me, this is the kind of tool to use once you get home from a trip.

I like the inclusion of one-time costs and maintenance costs.

I use Excel on a daily basis and you did a great job thinking thru the spreadsheet.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks

ive been planning trips all day with this thing just to see its great thanks

Great tool and thanks for sharing.

Do you have a metric version or an unlock so the distance and volume cells can be modified?

Thanks

Thanks for the comments guys, glad people are finding it useful.

Bbullit - Unfortunately, I don't have a metric version. If you'd like to work one up, though, I'd love to put it up on my site! I'd even give ya credit for it

I'll PM you the unlock password.

I'll give it a try. My XLS skills not as advanced as yours though.

I'll share any success.

Cool! Just let me know if you get stuck with excel. Actually, I wouldn't think any of the formulas would change. It's just a notation change. Functionally it should still work if you enter it as km instead of miles or CAD instead of USD, as long as you are consistent throughout.

Thank work with my HTC toch pocket pc.
