Build a Budget Tracker App from a Spreadsheet — Full Walkthrough

A typical budget spreadsheet has:

• Categories — Rent, Utilities, Marketing, Payroll, etc.
• Monthly amounts — Budgeted and actual spend
• Formulas — Variance (=Actual-Budget), totals (=SUM(B2:B10)), percentages

Upload this file to Unsheet and the AI will generate:

• A metric card showing total spend vs. total budget
• A bar chart comparing budget vs. actual by category
• An editable table where you can adjust amounts and watch variances recalculate
• A category dropdown if you have department or period filters

The real power: change any budget number and immediately see the impact on totals and variances.

• Increase Marketing spend by 20% → watch the total budget update
• Cut a line item to zero → see the variance flip to a surplus
• Compare scenarios by changing multiple values

No formulas break. No circular references. Just instant, accurate recalculation.

Once your budget tracker looks right, click "Share" to generate a public read-only link. Send it to your CFO, board, or team leads. They see a polished app, not a spreadsheet.
