| | |
| == Overview ==
| |
| | |
| If you have taken the time of creating your own spreadsheets to devise your [[Budgets]], follow these instructions to import your budget. You will need to ensure that your spread sheet contains, at a minimum the [[Accounts|account numbers]] and [[Periods|periods]] the budget relates to.
| |
| | |
| == Procedure==
| |
| | |
| # From the '''Menu''', click on '''20. Budget Entry''';
| |
| # Click on '''Utilities''' link in the menu;
| |
| # From the Utilities page, click on '''Import from Worksheet''';
| |
| # Click '''Yes''' to take a backup of your budgets, prior to importing;
| |
| # In the '''Action''' list and choose whether to '''Update''' the budget data in BudgetLink (if any) with the data to be imported, or whether to '''Add''' or '''Subtract''' the data to be imported;
| |
| # In the '''Data Type''' list and choose whether the data to be imported is '''Movement''' or '''Balance''' data;
| |
| # In the '''Workbook''' list and select the desired workbook. If it does not appear, you can use the '''Browse''' button to open your workbook;
| |
| # In the '''Worksheet''' list and select the desired worksheet;
| |

| |
| # Click on the '''…''' button to the right of '''Months Range''' and highlight on your spreadsheet the months for which you wish to import data and click '''OK''';
| |
| # Select the '''Job''' for which to import. If you have multiple jobs in your spreadsheet, tick the '''Use Range''' checkbox instead. Then click on the '''…''' button to the right of '''Jobs Range''' and highlight on your spreadsheet the jobs for which you wish to import data then click '''OK''';
| |
| # Click '''OK''' on the Import Budget Data dialog box to import the data;
| |

| === Notes ===
| |
| | |
| * If you have more than one row or column for the same account, BudgetLink will automatically add the values together when they are imported.
| |
| * If you have created an annual budget rather than a monthly budget, ensure that the data is under a column labelled Annual. When imported into BudgetLink, the annual amounts will automatically be split evenly across all months in the financial year.
