You can create a free Microsoft account at https://signup.live.com/signup. This account for signing in to Tiller does not need a Microsoft 365 subscription if you are already paying for a subscription for your work/business account.

Does this work with all versions of Excel?

Tiller Money Feeds for Microsoft Excel and the Tiller Foundation Template only works with Excel installed via a Microsoft 365 subscription or Excel Online. We recommend you have the most updated versions for Excel and your OS.

Check out our guide on transitioning from Money in Excel to learn more about how you can migrate data from your Money in Excel template to your Tiller-powered workbook.

Can I use my existing Google Sheets template in Excel?

At this time templates and community solutions for Google Sheets are not compatible with Excel so you would want to migrate your existing transaction data into Excel.

How to migrate bank data in Google Sheets to Excel:

Open your Tiller-powered Google Sheet.
Open the File menu at the top of the Google Sheet.
Choose Download As…
Choose your file format, either CSV or Excel.
Copy/paste your Transaction data into the Excel workbook you want to connect to Tiller being sure that you pay attention to the column order in the Transactions sheet. The columns are slightly different in Excel vs Google Sheets for our Transactions sheets.

Review this guide on migrating data between spreadsheets for more detailed instructions.

Is my data private and secure?

We do not see nor store your bank account credentials. We can’t see or access your transaction or balance data. Tiller is secured by 256-bit AES bank-grade encryption. You can read more about our security promise here.

Can I include more than 12 months in my budget?

The Tiller Foundation template supports multi-year budgeting (by adding more month columns to the Categories sheet), but you can only visualize a 12 month period on the Yearly Budget sheet.

How can I use the Foundation Template for envelope budgeting?

The Tiller Foundation Template does not support envelope or zero-sum budgeting at this time. You can search in the Tiller Community to see if there is a community-built and supported workflow for envelope budgeting for Microsoft Excel.

How can I find my Excel workbook after I've connected it to Tiller?

There is not a way to open an Excel workbook from the Tiller Console. You will need to open the workbook from the file location where you saved it originally. The Excel spreadsheets you've created with Tiller will either be in the OneDrive for the Microsoft account you were using with Excel at the time you created them or saved locally on your computer.

When you do a "Save as," you're prompted to pick a location. The default location is usually the last place you saved an Excel workbook.

You can review the names of linked Excel workbooks by visiting the Console at https://my.tillerhq.com/ but there isn't a way to open them from the Tiller Console.

Can I use Google Sheets too?

Yes. Your annual subscription to Tiller also includes access to the Tiller service for up to five spreadsheets linked to the Tiller Console. You don't need to start a new trial with a Google Account to use Google Sheets. Just be sure to pay attention to which Google account you use to create Google Sheets so you know which Google account owns the spreadsheet.

Do Tiller's Google Sheets templates work with Excel?

At this time, community-built and supported solutions featured in the Tiller Community Solutions add-on for Google Sheets are not compatible with Microsoft Excel.

We have a Foundation Template for Microsoft Excel, which you can download here. You can also review community built Show & Tell solutions for Microsoft Excel here.

What if I already signed up for Tiller using a Google Account?

If you already signed up with a Google account you can still use Microsoft Excel. When you're prompted to sign in to Tiller from the Tiller Money Feeds add-in you'll just choose the Google sign in option and sign in with that Google account.

We have a troubleshooting guide just for Tiller for Excel and have helpful top rated U.S. based support to answer your questions. Use the Messenger in the lower right corner of this page or on the Tiller Console at https://my.tillerhq.com/ to send us a message.
