Does it use real formulas or just typed numbers?

Real formulas. Totals, remaining amounts, and savings figures are calculated in the sheet, so editing a bill updates everything else.

Will it make up bills I did not mention?

No. It uses your numbers and adds empty rows for common categories you did not list, so you can fill them in or delete them.

Can I open it in Google Sheets or Numbers?

Yes. It is a standard Excel file and opens in Google Sheets, Numbers, and LibreOffice with the formulas intact.

Can I change the categories later?

Yes. Ask askROI to add, rename, or split categories and it rebuilds the file, or edit it directly in your spreadsheet app.
