I’ve developed the following spreadsheets and charts overtime to assist with some day to day number crunching. These are not professionally done and should certainly be checked by the user but feel free to download them and use at your discretion. The only thing I ask - if you make any improvements to any of the spreadsheets please email me a copy.
