Common Questions

Does this work in Excel AND Google Sheets?
Yes. Every spreadsheet ships in two formats: a native .xlsx file (Excel 2016+) and a Google Sheets copy you can open in your browser. Formulas, formatting, and validation work identically in both. Pick whichever your team uses.
Will the formulas break if I add my own rows?
No. Formulas use structured references and dynamic ranges where it matters, so inserting rows mid-table extends the calculations automatically. The Instructions tab in each workbook explains which rows are formula-driven vs. your input.
Is there a password on the file?
Yes. The workbook is lightly sheet-protected to prevent accidental formula overwrites. The password is included in the Setup Guide PDF that ships with every purchase. You're free to unprotect any sheet once you're in.
What if I need a refund?
30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. Email hello@fennecpress.com with your order number and we'll process the refund within a business day.
Can I re-download the file later?
Yes. Create a free account at fennecpress.com/account after purchase and your downloads stay accessible. A copy also lands in the confirmation email you received at checkout.
Can I use this for my business / my clients?
Yes. You own your copy outright and can customize it, share it with your team, and use it for as many internal or client-facing projects as you want. You can't resell the template itself, but any work product you create using the template is entirely yours.
