I'm reading the SES manual, but I think it presupposes a familiarity with spreadsheets and spreadsheet manuals. I've never successfully made a spreadsheet in my life (Excel (ugh), Emacs Table, the Emacs Table in Org, nothing ... I'd so like to keep track of expenses this way, in SES.). How do I, - name cell A `Date' and right align it? - name cell A1 `Expense' and left align it? (or can one do both of the above in two lines in cell A?) - enter today's date in cell B? - enter my first expense say `Subway' in A2? - make column A auto-fit and data right-aligned beneath the right-aligned column name? - (assuming I can then add subsequent dates by inserting new columns in the future,) name cell C `Subtotal' and enter a formula for that column that adds the amounts of the row? - name cell B3 `Total' and enter a formula in C3 that totals column C? Please help me get started.
