New YEAR 2025
« on: January 07, 2025, 08:25:02 pm »
Now that we are starting 2025 is there a way to "close out 2024" and start over on a clean sheet?
Or do I just keep going and do all that by sorting and selecting the parameters i want to look at?
THanks
Larry

Happy New Year!
To get started in 2025, please note that MyCostPro is not tied to a specific year.
You do not "need" to download a new file to continue to gather your selling information.

If you do not want to start a new file, I do still recommend saving a backup file containing your 2024, just in case anything happens.  One way would be to email the file to yourself; then it will be in the cloud for you to retrieve for as long as you have that email account.

If you prefer to have a clean new file each year, that is fine too (and recommended for performance if you are a large seller).  You can save your current file as its own file name:

-Click the black FULL SCREEN button near the top right, that will display the ribbon bar.
-Select File->Save As... and rename the file MyCostPro2024.xlsm (or whatever you choose).

Then navigate here to get a new copy for your new year's sales:  https://mycostpro.com/download
When you first open the program:
-Input your existing (same as before) download key
-Go to the Account Info / Settings tab
-Set your UTC offset to synchronize the ebay sales to your timezone
-Change the number of days to 6, 7, 8, etc. to go back to the beginning of the year
-Download your sales
-Check to see if any sales are included from the previous year that you don't want to include
-If there are some, click the black FULL SCREEN button so that the row numbering is displayed
-Right click the row number of the transaction from the previous year, and select delete... this method safely deletes the entire transaction.

If you have any problems, don't hesitate to post them here or email me at support@mycostpro.com.
I prefer questions to be asked here, so they can potentially help other users by seeing the answer.  However, you can always email me directly.
