I've decided recently that i'm going to try and keep track of how much time i'm spending learning Swedish (been doing it for a while) so i can track how much/little time i'm actually spending learning it, and can track my progress better. I thought a spreadsheet would be a good idea but i have no experience in using them and have never created one before. I want to create one that has the days of the week on it, with a final column giving me a weekly total. I also want another column/box/whatever, to keep track of my overall total as the weeks continue.
Does anyone know how i can do this? Or alternatively can anyone direct me to a tutorial to teach me how to do this? Regards, Jamopy 3 persons have voted this message useful | |

I think the template in the thread below does the job, but it seems as if the most recent link is invalid.

Indeed the first one sounded like it would be everything i wanted, but unfortunately all the links are dead. The second link looks good however. Thanks. :)

The thing is i have no experience with Excel at all, on top of which i have just a basic free version on my computer which apparently disables a lot of functions. On this one, i simply can't change the dates to 2012, and changing all the other information box by box is unwieldy and will undoubtedly be full of bugs that only become apparent once i start using it in earnest.
To be confident doing the amount of altering and editing that this one calls for i would probably need to devote some time to learning to write Excel from scratch anyway. :( 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Open Office is open source and free to download. Open Office has a spreadsheet program called "Calc" that is compatible with MS Office. In addition, Open Office is a full office suite. I find it quite useful and use some aspect of it almost every day. Google Docs has a free spreadsheet program living in the cloud. So does Microsoft itself. There are also plenty of free "Excel", Open Office tutorials out there from which you can learn how to build and use a spreadsheet in a short amount of time. Following are links to just two of many:
Excel 2010 free tutorial Learn Open Office Calc Tutorial I've never used a spreadsheet for language learning, so I can't comment on its usefulness. It hasn't hurt me not using one. Edited by iguanamon on 22 June 2012 at 12:09pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
