I would love to have a mileage sheet in the spreadsheet.  Thanks.

Hi,  Thank you for the recommendation.  Can you (or other users who would also like to see this feature) elaborate a bit on how you would like the information incorporated into the reports (etc)?

Something really simple.  A worksheet with the year's starting mileage and ending mileage from the odometer and then a row with date, destination, and trip miles and maybe a cell for reason for trip.

I added a blank worksheet to mine.  I hope that doesn't mess anything up in the spreadsheet.  I don't think it would.  I imagine I can add as many sheets as I want to, right?

Thanks.

Yes, you can add additional worksheets as needed.  Your are correct.

my suggestion for mileage is a simple form: Date/Miles/Purpose  Automatically download the federally allowed mileage charge and multiply miles by allowed $/mile to get a total cost for the trip, and just include it as an expense category.

this is how most businesses do it (well, in my office I have to enter a charge number also, but is irrelevant here)

Thank you for the additional insight, ive heard this from a few other users and plan to get expense associated with mileage to import to the expense tab in a near update.
