**❓ FAQ**

Q: Do I need a Google account?
A: To use Google Sheets, yes (it's free). The file also works fully in Microsoft Excel — every formula is a standard function supported in both.

Q: Can I use more or fewer than 8 categories?
A: Yes — insert or delete rows in the Dashboard category table, the dropdown and totals follow automatically.

Q: Is this only for construction/renovation projects?
A: No — it's generic by design. People use it for events, freelance projects, home renovations, and small business launches.

Q: Can I track more than 40 expenses?
A: Yes — just insert more rows on the Expenses tab following the same pattern.
