Features:
Export Cash Flow Statement To Desktop PC
Cash Diary allows to export your cash flow statement in a Comma Separated Values (CSV) file. CSV is an ASCII text file where the data lines are organized so each column value is separated by a comma from the next column value. Each row starts a new line. Below is an example of a Cash Diary export file (a cash flow statement):
"Date","Category","Amount","Memo"
"25-05-05","Parking","-2,95",""
"25-05-05","Foodstuffs","-87,95","ALDI"
"26-05-05","Gasoline","-67,45",""
"26-05-05","Parking","-2,30",""
The CSV Export file will be saved on your Pocket PC (in a folder of your choice: Business or Personal). The file will have the extension .csv reserved for the CSV file type. This file can then be easily exported to your Desktop PC via the ActiveSync program or "manually" via Windows Explorer. You can open a CSV file in Excel (either by double-clicking in Windows or by using File | Open in Excel) for further analysis.
Expenses Statistics Reports
Cash Diary lets you view statistics reports for the money you've spent under different categories within a selected date range.
You can also export these statistics in a Comma Separated Values (CSV) file.
Changing the Decimal Symbol and the Digit Grouping Symbol
Due to the difference in how Europeans and Americans (and others in other countries) represent digit grouping symbols and decimal symbols, a complicated problem can occur. What do you do then? Well, let's take a look.
In the US, commas (",") are used as grouping symbols, and periods (".") as decimal symbols. So, in US you would write 38,420.23 whereas in Europe the same value would appear as 38.420,23. The value, however, is the same or "Thirty-eight thousand, four hundred twenty, and twenty-three one hundredths" of something.
Cash Diary allows you to set your own Digit Grouping Symbol.
