Question about Spreadsheet

Hi James- Great article and spreadsheet. This is a new world for me, but your resources are really great. One question about the spreadsheets - I wasn't sure what to enter in the "Debt Service, Capital Expenditures, Loan Proceeds In, and interest earned in". Could you elaborate just a little on what those fields should contain? Thanks so much.
