How to Add, Change or Delete Transaction Tasks in the Spreadsheet

More sheet customization instructions
Here we just need to give you some instructions for changing, deleting and adding task descriptions. It's pretty straight forward if you just want to change one of the task descriptions and/or the DAC or DBC number for that task. Just change them and you don't have to worry about the formula that computes the due date.

Notice the upward arrow in the image. It points to the formula bar and shows you the formula that calculates the due date if you select one of the cells in the due date row. By using the up or down arrow keys, you can see that the formula is very similar for all the rows. The only thing that changes is the row number. If you need to add tasks to the sheet, you can add them at the bottom and then copy the formula down. That's because the order of the tasks in this sheet is not important! They will all sort by due date once we get them into Outlook anyway, so you can just add new ones to the bottom of the list with the appropriate DAC and DBC numbers next to them. If you have changed the task names the way you want them and there are extra tasks you don't need, just delete the entire rows.
