This is terrific, but I have one question. Is it possible to reconcile paid-off debts? In other words, when people who owe money to others pay all or some of what they owe, but shared expenses continue, where and how are payments recorded? Many thanks.

I am moved to tears. Thank you, thank you. I just hope all the calculations were correct. I had such a huge list that I can’t even hand check the final numbers.

Excellent application… Loved it..This is what I have been looking for..Just missing the STORE functionality.

Hi
Great tool. Found your site by chance as I have been thinking of creating such a tool for some time. Would you share the sources for it ? Please contact me to discuss possibilities. Regards.

When I tried to add £920 or £930, the application seems to work fine. Please reproduce this issue using sample data and send me the exported content. If there is an issue I will fix it as soon as possible.

Hello,

How come when I’m trying to put in £920.00 for 2 people it’s coming up with hash symbols even though the formular looks the same as the other cells. some reason its not liking the numbers 930

any help as finding this REALLY useful but i’m stuck now as I can’t carry on until this is fixed.

Thanks again

To explain how to use Expense sharer tool better, consider the following example
X and two of his friends Y and Z, share a two bed room apartment. X lives in one full bedroom, while Y and Z share the other room.
Its clear that X has to pay twice that others (Y and Z) pays.
so while entering the expense

put 2 for X in share section
put 1 for Y
put 1 for Z

Another scenario:

if 2 families (X and Y) are going for a picnic.
X family has 2 adult and 1 kid
Y family has 2 adults and 2 kids
to share expense between these 2 families (assuming kids share 0.5 of the share as adults)
put 2.5 for X in share section ( 1 + 1 + 0.5 )
put 3 for Y in share section ( 1 + 1 + 0.5 + 0.5 )
or you can enter each person separately and enter their respective share.

so in your case if 2 people are sharing equally, then put 1 for each person.
