Rental invoice format in excel for Nonprofit

[Music] okay hello everyone and welcome to the video in this one i'm going to show you how to make a simple invoice in excel that you can save as a template and use over and over again so you might be bootstrapping an operation and therefore you don't want to spend money on a software package at this point uh so you're just running your books and your invoicing in excel and that's fine or you maybe just want the flexibility that comes with excel so either way i'm going to show you how to do it so first things first we're going to lay out the the page size and we might not get exactly how we wanted the first time guys but that's sort of half the process of getting in there and learning how to have a bit of a play and just tinkering things to how you like it so we've got our page size here and now i'm going going to remove the grid lines there we go and now we're going to get started so i'm going to put a title in here and i'm going to merge and center and we're going to say tax invoice bold that and i might make it a bit bigger as well now we're going to put in the company details here this is your company so we'll say your company vty ltd your address and we're going to put in your abn so you might want to bold this and you might even want to change the text color we're going to make it blue and now we're going to put in the invoice date invoice number and the terms so for the dates what i'll do here is i will oh actually we'll put in the dart here first and we'll see how it looks invoice number 001 the first invoice and if you want it to stay displaying 01 i can put in one of these little apostrophe things here and there you go terms 14 days now you might have noticed this little green square here what we can do to get rid of that is click on here and say ignore error and then we might just want to format this a little bit we can center it we can put it to the right and we might have to make this cell here a little bit bigger and you'd probably want this to line up as well so we'll go we'll cut that and paste it there so then this stuff all lines and looks a bit easier on the eye so we're going to go down now and we're going to put in who we're invoicing and then you might put in the customer's address or perhaps an email address as well so that's the basics of the top section what we're going to do now is go into the body of the invoice so i'm going to create a square here to put in some labels okay so what did i do there so i'm going to center this stuff and i won't have to play around with the columns here a little bit a little arrow popped up okay i might just make this a little bit bigger just play around with it until you're happy with the way it looks i'm going to put a border down here and then some subtotal balances i'm going to bold that control b or you can clear click up here i'm going to put another line down here and we'll put in the banking details i'm going to bold that your bank account name which is usually the the name of your business that the bank account is registered under the bsb number the account number and then we're going to say to please quote invoice number on remittance and that way when someone makes a payment in the description field they'll put the invoice number in this case is 01 so that when you're reconciling your incoming payments it's nice and easy for you you know which invoice to match it up to i might just put another line down here sorry guys i'm not a great speller all right so let's say that you worked on two jobs one we'll call project x and the other one we'll call project y and let's say you did five hours on project x thirty dollars an hour for that particular job and you did two hours on project y and this job was a bit more complex so it was forty dollars an hour and i'm just putting in the dollar sign up here guys to turn it from just a basic general cell into a accounting cell with a dollar sign now in this column over here i'm going to go equals the quantity multiplied by the item amount so 5 hours at 30 dollars an hour equals 150 and then i'm just going to drag this down and that'll copy the formula 2 quantity multiplied by 40 item amount equals 80 now for the gst that's 10 so we're going to go equals the amount times point one so fifteen dollars is ten percent of 150 and then we're just going to drag that down again now you might not be registered for gst in that case you just wouldn't have anything here or you would have zero or if you're in another country like the uk you'd have like the v80 up here it's the same sort of thing in australia it's called gst so we've got that centered i might center this as well just to try and make it make it look a little bit nicer now down in the subtotal we're going to go here we're going to click on the auto sum button and that's adding up everything in this column here so 150 plus 80 is 230. the the gst i'm going to do a sum but i'm going to pick up this column here so i'm going to go equals sum open bracket drag and hold and select all of this stuff close bracket enter and 23 so that's picking up the sum of all this stuff which is 10 of 230 and then for the total payable i'm just going to go 230 plus 23 equals 253 i'm going to bold that check everything that looks pretty good so now i'm going to highlight or drag over and select our page outline then i'm going to go ctrl p or file print print selection and then i'm going to go down to scaling and i'm going to go fit sheet on one page okay so as you can see here it sort of pushed it up to the top end of the page so i'm going to go back and i'm going to reduce the size of some of these columns here so i might even just take a couple out and we'll see how it looks now let's try that see if that's any better after i took a couple of columns out so we've still got print selection and fit sheet on one page and that's looking a bit better but i might reduce it a little bit more still so we're going to take another column out compress it a little bit more and we'll have a look at that okay so that's looking a bit better i might just push it out a little bit more but what i'll do i'll insert some columns here i might just even drag this column out here to make it a bit longer so i'll select the page again and we'll go to print it so we're still printing the selection and we're still fitting sheet onto one page and that's looking better that's looking much better so we're going to print that to pdf and see what it looks like that's not too bad now if you would like to get rid of this outside border here we can do that so what you do if you want to do it that way is i'd go around the outside of the document change the colour to any colour really and then go back on the inside of the document change that back to white just so we can differentiate from where the document ends from where it begins because we're going to get rid of this outline now so i'm just going to select the lines that i want to get rid of and say no border same as down here no border just going around the perimeter and getting rid of all the borders okay so what i'll do now i'll select it again the white section will go print printing selection fit sheet onto one page and that does look a bit cleaner so we're going to print that to pdf we're going to write over the one that we previously made and then we're gonna go have a look at that okay there it is there's no border and that looks that looks okay so what you could do as well is you could reduce the size of these borders here so there isn't such a wide border so that would help do that also in here instead of terms you could just say due date and type in the due date which would be 14 days after the 13th in this case and then down here you might put in terms 14 days but the beauty of excel is that you can do whatever you want just ultimate flexibility as long as you know how to use it and something like this is relatively simple and straightforward to do so that's pretty much it guys now we can print our invoice we can attach it to emails you can even send it oh you might not want to but you could probably um you know send it straight from excel here but you're probably better off putting it into a pdf first but anyway thanks a lot guys for watching if you have any tips you'd like to share down the bottom please add that'll help out everyone who's looking to do this and maybe you've thought of better ways to do it than the way i did it so let's just why not share the knowledge but anyway thanks a lot for watching and catch you later [Music] you
