Adding a Calculation to Your Workpaper

Written by Hannah Olsson

Use this article to add a calculation to your workpaper. There are three ways to do this, depending on where you're working from.

For a refresher on what a calculation is, see Calculations Explained.

Option 1: Add a calculation from a worksheet

The most common way to add a calculation is from a worksheet, in the Trial Balance or aeadsheet.

  1. Go to the Trial Balance or leadsheet.

  2. Click the account you want to work on. This opens the worksheet.

  3. Go to the Calculations tab.

  4. Click + New Calculation.

  5. Click + Add on the calculation you want. The calculation is added to the worksheet.

The tiles are grouped into:

  • Suggested - matches the worksheet's tag.

  • In this Workpaper - calculations already added elsewhere in the workpaper. You can link to these too.

  • Other Templates - every available calculation template.

Option 2: Add a calculation from Other Schedules

  1. Go to Other Schedules in the left-hand navigation.

  2. Click New Schedule.

  3. Click + Create next to the schedule you want. This creates a generic worksheet and adds the calculation under its Calculations tab.

Option 3: Add a calculation from the Calculations page

  1. Open the Calculations page from the left-hand workpaper navigation.

  2. Click New Calculation.

  3. Search or scroll to find the template you want.

  4. Click + Add. The calculation is added to your workpaper without being linked to a worksheet yet.

Where added calculations appear

Wherever you add a calculation from, it always appears on the Calculations page, showing:

  • A progress dial for each calculation

  • Any Tags applied

  • How many worksheets it's linked to
