Horizon is a new way of looking at and working with your personal finances. In very simple terms, it combines the graphical presentation of a common calendar with the calculation engine of a spreadsheet, giving you the power to see how values change over time.
Horizon in 5 Easy Steps:
- Select a Date. Click once anywhere on the calendar to select a date. The date box will be shaded with the color of the active category.
- Add a cell. Click on the 'Add Cell' button on the toolbar. A cell appears in that date, with an edit field in it. Type in a number, and press return. The color of the cell is the color of the active category.
- Repeat a cell. Select an empty date. Click on the 'Add Cell' button and enter a value in the edit field and press 'return'. Now click on the small triangle on the right side of the cell. Select a repeat type from the pop-up menu to the right of the edit field. You'll see the cell repeated in the calendar at the frequency you chose..
- Enter an equation. Select an empty date and click on the 'Add Cell' button. In the active edit field, type an equals sign ('=') to open the equation editor. Type 5, then a *, for multiply. Now click once on a cell in the calendar. Press return. You'll see the result of 5 times the value of the cell you clicked.
- Enter a formula. (This requires a set of repeated cells from step 3.) Double-click on an empty date. In the active edit field, type an equals sign ('=') to open the equation editor. Type 'sum', followed by an opening bracket '('. Click on the first cell in the range you want to total. Type a comma (,) then click on the last cell in the range. Type a closing bracket ')' and press return. You'll see the total of all the cells in the range.
Now, you can learn about the features of Horizon, and find out more about categories, cells, and functions. It's really quite simple, and help is always here when you need it.
