24 | ⚠️ NOT COMPATIBLE WITH EXCEL | ||||||||||||
25 | |||||||||||||
26 | This spreadsheet was designed for Google Sheets and will not function properly in Excel. While Google Sheets and Excel are pretty similar, | ||||||||||||
27 | there are differences in their formatting and how formulas are set up. | ||||||||||||
28 | |||||||||||||
29 | 📆 DATE FORMAT | ||||||||||||
30 | |||||||||||||
31 | By default, the template's date format is set to mm/dd/yyyy, however it can easily be changed to dd/mm/yyyy. Go to File at the top left > Settings > | ||||||||||||
32 | Select your country from the dropdown > Save settings. | ||||||||||||
33 | |||||||||||||
34 | 🔒 PROTECTED CELLS & TABS | ||||||||||||
35 | |||||||||||||
36 | This spreadsheet is protected to prevent cells with formulas from being edited accidentally. However, there are exceptions on cells you're supposed to edit. | ||||||||||||
37 | If you want to remove the sheet protection, please go to Data > Protected sheets and ranges. From there, select the tab and on the right, | ||||||||||||
38 | there should be a Trash icon. Altering or removing formulas in the spreadsheet will change how it works. | ||||||||||||
