Hello everyone, I built a spreadsheet to monitor my collection, decklists, and promo cards. It features several tabs with formulas to flag missing items and manage trade data. Feedback is welcome.
This spreadsheet tracker is a welcome solution for anyone dealing with collection management on a consistent basis. From my own experience with tracking my board game collection and comic books, I found that having dynamic formulas really saves time by automatically flagging issues like missing items. Your method of incorporating decklist and promo card tracking is innovative. I noticed that adding a backup or periodic snapshot feature helped avoid accidental data loss. It might also be useful to validate entries early on to reduce propagation of errors. Overall, your approach is impressive and very practical.
The spreadsheet concept is a solid foundation for managing a collection. From my own experience setting up similar trackers, I found that incorporating conditional formatting really emphasizes discrepancies without manual intervention. I’ve also used embedded pivot tables to quickly analyze trends and logistics of large inventories. For me, automation through basic script functions added value, especially in reducing redundant data entry. Including clear commentary for formula-dependent cells made future enhancements easier to implement. Your design appears to be a flexible and scalable solution to collection management.
