1. Excel Cash book template

My Most Popular Excel Bookkeeping Template

The excel cash book is the simplest and easiest way to start recording and tracking your business income and expenses and bank balance, for your day to day bank accounts.

You can add or delete unwanted columns and delete or insert more rows.

Balances are calculated automatically with built-in formulas so all you have to do is enter how much you earned or spent and the expected bank balance is calculated for you! You can then perform a bank reconciliation within the cashbook to make sure the cashbook reconciles with your bank balance.

This cash book also includes an Income Statement report so you can see if the business is making a profit or a loss each month.

2. Excel Cashbook with Balance sheet

This template is very similar to the cash book above, however it has a Balance Sheet Report so you can track your assets and liabilities and see the financial position of your business.

Go to Cash Book Excel with Balance Sheet

3. Expense Form Template

This excel bookkeeping template is a cash book specifically for tracking income and expenses off a credit card.

4. Accounting Excel Template

This template is similar to the cash book but it includes sales tax features and the tracking of two bank accounts and one credit card.

5. Sales Invoice excel Template

Need to give your customers a sales invoice?
Excel already has a great variety of Invoice templates included in their system.

Click on File > New and type Invoice into the search bar. The same goes with just about any other template that you might need. You probably don't need to search the web or use my templates to find one - just look inside Excel!

I have done a sample invoice anyway and you can click on the link to go look at it and use it to get an idea of what information you need to include on your self-designed template.

6. Statement of Account excel template

This is what you need to send to your customers at the end of the month.

Use it to list all the invoices you have sent them and include a total.

This tells your customers how much they owe you, and if for some reason they are missing an invoice, they can contact you for a copy.

A statement of account is the best way of reminding your customers that you sent them a certain number of invoices during the month, and that they owe you a certain amount of money and that it is due by a certain date, and that if they don’t pay on time you might charge a certain amount of interest.

7. Accounts Receivable Ledger excel template

Use this spreadsheet to record all the invoices a business issues to a customer who have an account with the business.

You can track customer payments, and keep notes on what a customer says if the business has to call them about overdue payments.

8. Excel Inventory Template

If you buy or make stock items and sell them, you can use this Excel inventory template to keep a track of all items purchased (made) and sold, having a record of the costs and prices, the quantities, the values and so one for each one.

There is an overall Inventory Report which updates automatically so you get to see the totals in one list and immediately see the quantities left in stock, and the overall value of stock on hand.

We also explain how to bring the total value of stock on hand into your bookkeeping software.

9. Receipt Template in excel

Although this particular excel receipt is geared towardsrent, you can easily customize it to exclude anything to do with rent if yourequire a receipt for other purposes.

This template has two versions, one has a shadedbackground which just makes it look pretty, the other one has no shading sosaves the ink usage on your printer.

10. Accounts Payable Ledger excel template

This spreadsheet is a fantastic tool for keeping a record of your purchase invoices due for payment.

You would only need to use this spreadsheet if you have bought goods on account and which you still owe payment to the supplier/vendor.

You would not use this spreadsheet if you paid for your goods at the time of purchase - eg. if you paid with cash or bank card or with some other means.

11. Cash flow Template in excel

This particular cash flow report is good to use if your business is tight on funds and you can only pay bills as income comes in.

You will update it every day and see what your current cash flow is looking like.

It allows you to enter in all the bills coming up with their due date, enter in the daily bank balance, enter in the income and calculate how much you have available to pay the bills.

This will enable you to prioritize payments for the most urgent and important bills such as wages or telephone.

12. Petty Cash Log and Voucher Templates

This excel bookkeeping template comes with two tabs, one for the log, wherein you list the daily cash in’s and out’s, and one for the slip, which can be printed out (might want to copy and paste the slip to fill up a page, and then cut them once printed).
Keep them in the cash box so that anyone with access can complete one whenever they take money or put change back in.

13. Income Statement excel Template

Also known as profit and loss statement.

All businesses need to know if a profit or loss is being made.

An income statement basically totals the income, totals the expenses, and subtracts the expenses from the income to arrive at a profit or loss figure.

14. Balance Sheet excel Template

This excel bookkeeping template lets you know what the financial position of your business is i.e. how much you own (assets), how much you owe (liabilities) and your stake in it (equity). In your second year of trading you need to include 'Retained Earnings' under the Equity section (which is just your 'current year earnings' from the first year).

15. Trial Balance excel template

A trial balance is a must have report if you want to move your accounts from one bookkeeping system to another, and it is something a tax accountant will check over at the end of the financial year to ensure all the debits and credits balance.

This excel template allows you to prepare one, and you can also view an example and read up how it works.

16. Journal Entries excel template

This template cannot be downloaded to your computer. It is designed to be used within the web page.

It allows you to practice entering the details of a business transaction in the top half and watch as the bookkeeping journal unfolds in the second half. It can be used for income and expenses paid into or out of a bank account, petty cash, credit card etc.

A great template to help you understand how journals work.

17. Home Office Tax Expenses excel template

Working from a home office?

This excel template can be used to record all your personal bills each month (like power, city rates, home & contents insurance etc.), on which you are able to claim a portion as a deductible business expense.

The claimable portion will be the percentage of your home office area vs the house area.

We tell you how to calculate that and include it in the template so that the total claimable is automatically worked out.

Excel provides powerful ways to analyze and present your data. With Excel templates, you can easily create and share your customized analysis with others in your organization.

Use Excel templates for:

  • Sales Forecasting

  • Pipeline Management

  • Leads Scoring

  • Territory Planning

  • And much more…

    You can try out the Excel templates included with customer engagement apps (Dynamics 365 Sales, Dynamics 365 Customer Service, Dynamics 365 Field Service, Dynamics 365 Marketing, and Dynamics 365 Project Service Automation), to get a quick view of what kind of analysis is possible.

Tip

Create a new Excel template

Following are the steps for creating an Excel template.

Step 1: Create a new template from existing data

There are two places where you can create an Excel template:

  • From the Settings page. Go to Settings > Templates > Document Templates > New (). You must have sufficient permissions to access to the Settings page, such as System Administrator or System Customizer.

  • From a list of records. For example, go to Sales > Opportunities > My Open Opportunities. On the menu bar, click Excel Templates > Create Excel Template.

    The Create template page appears.

Select the data to include in the template

  1. Click Excel Template.

  2. Select an entity (record type) to include that entity's data. The views you can select in the next field depend on the entity you select.

  3. Select a view.

  4. Click Edit Columns to add, remove, and adjust properties for the columns to include in the template.

  5. Click Download File to create the template file.

Warning

You can also download a template containing no data except for the columns associated with the record type (entity) using Settings > Data Management > Templates for Data Import. For more information, see: Download a template for data import.

Important

Document template downloaded from one environment can only be used within that environment. environment to environment migration for Word or Excel templates isn't currently supported.

During the creation of an Excel template, a maximum of 50 records are exported in the template file.

Step 2: Customize the data in Excel

Open the newly-created template in Excel to customize the data.

Let's walk through a simple example of customizing an Excel template using sample data.

Example customization of Opportunities data

  1. Click Enable Editing to allow customization of the Excel spreadsheet.

  2. Add a new column and name it 'Expected Revenue'.

  3. Create a formula for expected revenue. Don't refer to cells using their addresses; define and use names instead.

  4. Create a pivot table and chart. These and other demo steps will be explained in a future update to this topic.

    Place user-added content above or to the right of the existing data table. This prevents the content from being overwritten if you add new data later and you create a new Excel template. For more information, see: Best practices and considerations for using Excel templates.

  5. Save the spreadsheet.

    You're now ready to upload the Excel template.

Step 3: Upload the template and share with others

When you have your Excel template customized the way you want, you can upload it. Where you upload the template determines its availability.

Administrators can use the Settings page to upload the Excel template. A template uploaded in Settings is available to all users.

For admins: Upload the Excel template

  1. Go to Settings > Templates > Document Templates.

  2. Click Upload Template.

  3. Drag the Excel file into the dialog box or browse to find and upload the file.

  4. Click Upload.

    Non-admin users can upload a template for their own use from a list of records.

For non-admins or admins wanting to create a personal template: Upload the Excel template

  1. Open a page with a list of records, for example, the list of Sales Opportunities. Go to Sales > Opportunities > My Open Opportunities.

  2. On the menu bar, click Excel Templates > Create Excel Template.

  3. Click Excel Template > Upload.

  4. Drag the file into the dialog box or browse to find and upload the file.

  5. Click Upload.

Step 4: Choose who can use the new template

Access to the newly-created Excel template depends on how you uploaded it, and on the access granted to the security role. Be sure to check out Use security roles to control access to templates.

If you uploaded the template from the Settings page

The Information page for the uploaded Excel template will look like this.

Templates uploaded from the Settings page are available to all users. You don't need to take any further action.

If you uploaded the template from a list of records

The Information page for the uploaded Excel template will look like this.

Templates uploaded from a list of records are available to the user who uploaded the template. To share the template with others, following these steps:

  1. From the template Information page, click Share.

  2. Use the Share personal document template page to share the Excel template with others and to set permissions.

Export and analyze data using the new template

The process for using an Excel template looks like this.

Step 1: Select an entity to analyze

Select an entity (record type) to analyze with the Excel template you created. For example, go to Sales > Opportunities > My Open Opportunities. Two new opportunities were added since the template was created.

Step 2: Export data using your new Excel template

Choose the Excel template you created.

This template was created from the Settings page so it will appear on the menu under Excel Templates. If it had been created from a records list, it would appear under Personal Excel Templates.

If you have Microsoft Excel Online, you can see the data in place in an Excel window in customer engagement apps (such as Dynamics 365 Sales and Customer Service). If not, or if you'd rather create the Excel file, click Download <template name>.

Step 3: Analyze your data in Excel

What you see in the Excel spreadsheet is based on two things:

  • Records. The view you choose to export from determines what records you see in the exported Excel file. For example, if you selected Closed Opportunities, you'll see those records even if you used the template created with My Open Opportunities.

  • Columns. The template you used determines what columns appear in the table in the exported Excel file. For example, the Closed Opportunities view has these columns: Potential Customer, Status, Actual Revenue, and Actual Close Date. But if the template you used was based on My Open Opportunities, you'd see columns associated with that view and any column filtering done when you created the template.

Step 4: Share the results with others

Avery

If you're using Excel, save a copy either online or to your computer. Send the file to others for their review and input.

Try out the sample Excel templates

There are four Excel templates included with customer engagement apps.

The sample Excel templates were created with a specific record type (entity). You'll only be able to apply the template to records of the same record type.

NameEntity
Pipeline ManagementOpportunity (Sales area)
Campaign OverviewCampaign (Marketing area)
Cases SLA StatusCase (Service area)
Case SummaryCase (Service area)

To apply a sample Excel template

  1. Open a list of records with information with the entity type that matches the sample template. For example, open a list of sales opportunities to apply the Pipeline Management template.

  2. Click > Excel Templates, and then under Excel Templates, select the sample template.

  3. Download the template or open it in place in Excel.

Tip

You can export the templates that are included in customer engagement apps, modify them, and then reimport them as new templates. This can give you a running start on creating your own custom Excel templates.

Best practices and considerations for using Excel templates

Here are some things you need to be aware of to create and make best use of Excel templates.

Test your Excel templates

Excel has lots of features. It's a good idea to test your customizations to see that all Excel features work as expected in your templates.

Privacy and pivot charts

By default pivot chart data is not updated when a spreadsheet is opened. This can create a security issue if certain pivot chart data should not be seen by users with insufficient permissions.

Consider the following scenario:

  • An administrator creates a template with sensitive data in pivot charts and uploads the template.

  • A salesperson who should not have access to the sensitive data in the pivot charts uses the template to create an Excel file to do some data analysis.

    The outcome. The salesperson might be able to see the pivot chart data as uploaded by the administrator including access to views the salesperson does not have permissions for.

    In addition. iOS does not support updating pivot data and pivot charts when using the Excel app on iOS devices.

    Recommendation. Sensitive data should not be included in pivot tables and pivot charts.

Resume Templates For Microsoft Excel

Set pivot chart data to automatically refresh

Be default, pivot chart data does not automatically refresh when you open the spreadsheet. Regular charts automatically update.

Excel

In Excel, right-click the pivot chart, and then click PivotChart Options > Refresh data when opening the file.

Placing new data

If you want to add content to the Excel template, place your data above or to the right of the existing data. A second option is to place your new content on a second sheet.

Excel templates with images may cause an error

If you try to analyze data with an Excel template that has an image saved in it, you may see the following error: 'An error occurred while attempting to save your workbook. As a result, the workbook was not saved.' Try removing the image from the template and reloading it.

Excel templates and Office Mobile app in Windows 8.1

Excel templates will not open in Windows 8.1 devices with Office Mobile app. You'll get the following error message: 'We've recovered as much of your document as we could, but you can't edit it. Try to open and repair the document on your PC to fix the problem.'

This is a known issue.

Use table column names and range names in formulas

When you create Excel formulas, don't use column titles or cell numbers. Instead, use the table column names, and define names for cells or cell ranges.

Use security roles to control access to templates

Administrators can control access to Excel templates with some granularity. For example, you can give salespeople Read but not Write access to an Excel template.

  1. Click Settings > Security > Security Roles.

  2. Select a role, and then click the Business Management tab.

  3. Select Document Template to set access for templates available to the entire organization. Select Personal Document Template for templates shared to individual users.

  4. Click the circles to adjust the level of access.

To view and delete personal document templates

Follow these steps to delete personal document templates:

  1. Click Advanced Find ().

  2. For Look for, select Personal Document Templates.

  3. Click Results(!).

  4. Select the personal document template to delete, and then click Delete ().

Excel template does not upload in Microsoft Edge

If your Excel template does not upload when using Microsoft Edge as your browser, update Microsoft Edge and try again.

Privacy notice

If you use Microsoft Dynamics 365 (online), exporting data to a static worksheet creates a local copy of the exported data and stores it on your computer. The data is transferred from Dynamics 365 (online) to your computer by using a secure connection, and no connection is maintained between this local copy and Dynamics 365 (online).

When you export to a dynamic worksheet or PivotTable, a link is maintained between the Excel worksheet and Dynamics 365 (online). Every time a dynamic worksheet or PivotTable is refreshed, you’ll be authenticated with Dynamics 365 (online) using your credentials. You’ll be able to see the data that you have permissions to view.

An administrator determines whether or not an organization’s users are permitted to export data to Excel by using security roles.
