Using Applications Other Than Microsoft Excel

You can use applications other than Microsoft Excel (such as Lotus 1-2-3 or

Quattro Pro) to open and manipulate the Expense data on your computer.

The data file is named “Expense.txt,” and is stored in the Expense folder,

within the folder containing pdQ smartphone user data.

Expense data in the Expense.txt file is in tab-delimited format.

Expense File Details

The Expense.txt file contains four groups of data. It will be easier to see

these four distinct groups of data if you open the file with a spreadsheet

application.

Trips Shows the number of Expense application categories,

and lists each one followed by an “end” statement.

Currency Shows how many currencies were used for the Expense

data, and lists the countries that correspond to that

currency.

Trip Shows the number of expenses by category, and lists the

expenses for each category.

Expenses Shows the total number of expenses, and lists them

chronologically.
