I want to share a spreadsheet I have - My Trader's Log for anyone that is willing to link back to my blog or review my blog. Unfortunately I developed the entire spreadsheet in Excel and I haven't taken the time to port it over to Google Spreadsheets. I make extensive use of logic (if-then-else), conditional formatting, and tons of formulas. I'm sure I'll be able to get most of the stuff into Google Spreadsheets though. I find that it is able to handle most tasks. Plus I'm betting that <a href="http://www.daxdesai.com/2007/05/31/google-launches-google-gears" rel="nofollow">Google Gears</a> will be integrated into Google Docs. Its just a matter of time. Once that happens I'll have my offline ability that I'm craving. JR – That’s a great tip!

Normally, when you click the "anyone can view" checkbox in the SHARE tab, the link will bring all clickers into the same spreadsheet - as you saw (although, as an editor)... that means there is only 1 copy which everyone is viewing. If, however, you add the &newcopy parameter to the end of that URL, the person clicking that link will get THEIR OWN COPY in their google docs account (they'd be prompted to log in if they were not already)... So this give you the ability to provide templates (raw, yes. undiscoverable, yes.) to your audience... Note: they can remove that &newcopy parm and enter the shard version as a viewer (no editing), so you may want to make the original template file something with no sensitive data in it (which, by definition, you would have already done, I expect) Have fun! JR Nice post ;)

What investment were you analyzing? I see you have a "27 year growth factor" in the spreadsheet. That is a long time. I am curious. What investment were you analyzing?
