Hi lili,
Give this link a try:

Version “S” is the one that I work from, but there may be another updated one out there. This one works just fine for me though. As long as you have Excel you will be just fine. Good luck! :)

Thanks :-)

Hello. I am having trouble understanding the Matrix??? [confused look] Maybe I rushed through it, but there were so many columns and information, my mind couldnt process it at a glance, lol. I’m going to go back and view it and REALLY look at it and dissect it. Thanks alot for the link

I am in the process of making a less confused one! I have one which is a cake portion guide, another which is ingredients costings which works out the prices automatically and I am working on one that tracks time input too.
I agree – my mind just went blank trying to process all the information contained on the one sheet, so am setting about to simplify!

Oh…that sounds good, Karen….let us know when its up & running :)

That sounds great, Karen! I tried to make sense of Alice’s one as well, since I mainly want to use the ingredients costing, but it just has so many variables, and then I was also trying to update it to metric (I am in South Africa), but I just gave up after a couple of hours.

I am sure there are a lot of us who would greatly appreciate a simplified sheet, if you would be willing to share all your hard work!

Thanks Karen! Keep us posted on how it turns out

OK – so I am in London UK – and we can weigh in both ounces and grams. Could someone please give me a lesson as to what ‘cups’ are all about? If I can get this sheet to work for each kind of measurement – without being massively confusing, I am guessing this would help! So first is there a standard cup size? And is this USA and Canada that weigh in cups, and UK in grams (and in England using an older recipe it might be in ounces and lbs) Let me know. Cheers,

Hi Karen. A cup is usually 250 millilitres, (ml), no matter the weight.

Thanks for that. OK another question then – litres measure water and fluid. Do you use cups to measure flour?
