You can feed data into any Google Sheet using the Tiller Money Feeds add-on. If you prefer not to start in the Foundation template, you can connect the Tiller Money Feeds add-on to your own template or a blank Google Sheet.
If using your own template, make sure your sheet is compatible with the Tiller Money Feeds add-on otherwise open a blank Google Sheet from your Google Drive (be sure to use the Google Drive associated with the Google Account you used to sign up for Tiller).
Open the Google Sheet you want to feed data into
Open the Extensions menu > Tiller Money Feeds > Sign in to Tiller
Sign in to the add-on using the account you used to sign up for Tiller (it can be Google or Microsoft)
Click “link sheet” in the sidebar
Choose the accounts you want to feed into the sheet and click “Confirm”
If you’re building your own templates for Tiller Money Feeds you may want to check out the Builder’s Reference on the Tiller Community.
If you're starting in a blank sheet the Tiller Money Feeds add-on will add a Transactions, Balance History, and Categories sheet. Note: The Categories sheet built by Tiller Money Feeds does not include monthly budget columns that are default in the Foundation template.
Explore what's possible
The Foundation is a great starting point for budgeting and tracking, but if you have more specific needs or just want to explore what’s possible with Tiller Money we recommend checking out solutions built and supported by members of the Tiller Community.
You can also build your own reports, dashboards, and analysis sheets and share them in the Community
