I. The Core Structure: Your Accounting Hub

The program is built around three core sheets, each with a specific purpose:

Sheet Name	What It Does	User Type
**DataEntry**	**Where you record every transaction.** (Your daily journal)	Clinic Staff / User
**DailySummary**	**The Automated Financial Report.** (Your daily totals and running balance)	Clinic Owner / Manager
**MasterAccounts**	**The Control Center.** (Secure settings for accounts and the financial year)	Clinic Owner / Administrator

---

II. The Process: Recording a Transaction : Very important :

In The ** MasterAccounts** sheet, you have just to choose in the D1 cell the first month of the financial year viz. 01-04-2025 for financial year 2025-26 and  01-04-2026 for financial year 2026-27. Only this change will automatically do the necessary changes on this sheet. Rest of the sheet is protected and no changes anywhere on this sheet needed. 

The **DataEntry** sheet is the only place, you need to manually enter the information.

The **DailySummary** sheet : No action needed by the user. It is fully automated to capture the data on the basis of data entered on DataEntry Sheet.

1. Entering Data on DataEntry Sheet :

• **Enter the Date:** Input the transaction date in the first column. (If this is a **new, unique date**, the program will automatically create a new row for it in the DailySummary sheet.)
• **Enter Details and Amount:** Record the income or expense amount.

2. Using Dropdown Menus for Accuracy

For accuracy and consistency, you **must** select the following from the dropdown menus:

• **Mode:** Select how the money was handled (e.g., **Cash** or **Online**).
• **MainAccount** and **SubAccount:** Select the correct categories (e.g., *Main: Income*, *Sub: Patient Fees*).

III. Automated Reporting: The DailySummary

This sheet works by itself! **No manual entry is required here.** The goal is to give the owner a quick, accurate view of the clinic’s financial performance.

✨ Key Features & Benefits:

**Automatic Row Creation**	When a unique date is entered, the system instantly creates a matching row and copies all the necessary summary formulas.	**Saves Time:** Eliminates manual report setup and formula copying.

IV. Security & Control

🛡️ MasterAccounts Sheet:

This sheet is **protected with a password**. Its primary function is to allow the administrator to change the **Financial Year** (e.g., changing ‘Apr, 2026’ to start the 2026-27 year) while keeping all other account settings safe from accidental changes.

⚙️ Sheet Protection:

The key reporting sheets (DailySummary and MasterAccounts) are locked to protect the core formulas and settings, guaranteeing the accuracy and integrity of your reports.

📝 User Quick Start Guide: Setup and Safety

After clicking the download link, follow these three essential steps when you first open the file. First save the downloaded file and while opening the file click the enable macro, if such pop up is reflected. If you view a message “Security Risk : Microsoft has blocked Macros from running because the source of this file is untrusted. (Learn More). In such a situation you have to proceed as under :

That red security bar is Microsoft’s “Mark of the Web” protection. It occurs because the file was downloaded from the internet or received via email, and Microsoft has blocked macros by default to prevent potential malware.

To enable macros for this specific file, you need to “unblock” the file properties at the Windows level.

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Close the Excel file completely.

2. Open Windows File Explorer and locate the folder where the file is saved.

3. Right-click on the file and select Properties.

4. In the General tab (the default view), look at the bottom for a section called Security.

5. Check the box that says Unblock.

6. Click Apply and then OK.

7. Re-open the file. The red bar should be gone, and you may see a yellow bar asking to “Enable Content”—click that, and the macros will work.

Important Safety Checklist

Before you unblock the file, ensure you trust the source. Macros are powerful scripts that can delete files, steal data, or install ransomware if the file is malicious.

1. Essential Setup (Do This First!)

Step	Action	Why? (Crucial!)
A. Enable Editing	Click the “Enable Editing” button at the top of the file when you first open it.	This allows you to make changes and save the workbook.
B. Enable Macros	Look for the Security Warning ribbon (usually yellow) and click “Enable Content” or “Enable Macros.”	This is the most important step! If you skip this, the automatic row creation, summing, and profit tracking will not work.
C. Save and Confirm Format	Immediately save the file to a permanent place on your computer (e.g., your Documents folder).	This ensures the file is not deleted from your temporary downloads.

2. Best Practices for Daily Use

• Backup Regularly: Make a backup copy of the file (e.g., save it with the current month in the name) at the end of every week or month. Data is invaluable!

• Consistency is Key: When entering data on the DataEntry sheet, always use the dropdown menus and enter dates in the same clear format (e.g., 01-04-2025) to guarantee accurate reporting.

• Respect Protection: The DailySummary and MasterAccounts sheets are protected. Do not try to unprotect them. This locking feature is vital for preserving the formulas and automation that make your reports accurate.

Practical example of putting the transaction after downloading and saving the file at your desktop :

1. MasterAccounts first Sheet : We have to ensure that Start month of the file pertains to the Current Financial Year viz. it should be April 2025 for the Financial Year 2025-26, it Should be April 2026 for the Financial Year 2026-27 and so on. It does not create whether we started our clinic in Oct., 2025 or Nov., 2025. Start of the Financial Year will be from April each year in line of accounting practices of our country. No other action needed on this sheet.
2. DataEntry Sheet : This is most important sheet, that will be used for recording of all the financial transactions of the clinic for accounting purpose.

Date	Name	Mode	MainAccount	SubAccount	Amount	Narration	Age	Mobile No	Address
01-04-2025	abc	Online	Income	Professional Services Fee	1000	RCT	25
30-04-2025	abc	Cash	Expenses	Receptionist Salary	5000	Sal Apr.,25
03-05-2025	abc	Cash	Expenses	Lab Payments	500

I have given three example of data entry, enter the date, Name, Mode has dropdown two options Online and Cash, choose the appropriate from dropdown list available at the cell., Main Account have two options Income and Expenses, choose the appropriate from dropdown list available at the cell., Sub Accounts are having nine options one Professional Services Fee for income and rest eight for Expenses, choose the appropriate from dropdown list available at the cell. Enter the amount, Narration, Age, Mobile No. Address of the paitent and utility will automatically send thus entered data to other sheets. while closing the file, save it as Macro Enabled Workbook.

Care : if you want to change, erase or delete any data that is to be done on DataEntry Sheet. Second row of the DataEntry Sheet must not be deleted, however, data can be retyped, wherever needed.  And due to the deletion of rows on DataEntry Sheet few rows at the DailySummary sheet will be having only dates with no data, they may also be deleted after selecting them, however the second row of DataEntry and DailySummary Sheet must not be deleted, but can be modified, by retyping on these cells as these rows are having base formulaes of calculations.
