2016 Budget Numbers, Circulation Numbers, Programming Numbers, I Haz Them ALL (part 2 the $$$)

The Statistics Octopus

Every year I feel like I can improve the record-keeping for the budget. This year I transferred most of my material orders to google sheets, but kept the budget spreadsheet in Excel, which turned out to be a bad decision as there was a gap between the two. $187.27 gap, but who's counting?

Next year I've combined all the order lists and record-keeping into the same spreadsheets so I can keep better track. There are always some things you can't predict - Amazon orders, which change their prices, audiobooks with processing fees, etc. - but I think this will give me a closer figure.
