What you ask for is too general. Just start with a blank spreadsheet on
the screen. Put some headers at the top of each column for different data
that you want to tabulate (enter from time to time).
If you want to sum a column, it's best to put the formula at the top of
the column, rather than at the bottom since the bottom keeps moving. If you
want to keep up with the differences between the sums of some columns (How
much is supposed to be paid minus how much has been paid, etc, etc, etc.),
you would put formulas for that kind of thing across the top of the page.
In fact, you might consider starting your data in maybe row 10 (headers
in row 10) and leaving the space above that for the calculations you are
interested in monitoring.
There are a multitude of options and ways to do this sort of thing. You
should just jump in and set up something to get started and then change it
as you more clearly see what you want to have. As you see specific areas or
things you need more help with, you could post specific questions in this
newsgroup.
I don't know if any of the above has helped you. It's really difficult
to help with such a general request. If you wish, contact me direct via
email with more specific ideas you have on what you want, and I'll work with
you to develop a useful spreadsheet. My email address is
