Best software for comic management?

[Wally's Comics]

I was looking for a spreadsheet type of software to help me keep track of my books.

 

I flip and buy so many that just depending on my memory is ignorant.

 

I want a spreadsheet type of software that would add a line alphabetically to a long list.

Ex. you already have a long list of hundreds and you get a new book and want to add a line to be automatically added alphabetically.

 

 

any favorites out there?

 

 

I was thinking just a excel dock but I don't know the best procedure for creating a line to be alphabetically inserted.

 

 

Any help would be definitely be appreciated.

If you put filters in the excel tab you can put the new item at the bottom and sort alphabetically whenever you want.

I think you'd just be looking at an excel sheet with a template built in that auto-organized the title column by name, the issue column by #, and so-on while also tying the cells to each other so they don't get jumbled & an issue column cell ends up tied to the wrong title column cell.

 

I don't know my excel good enough to make that though. I just use the CLZ app on my phone & laptop. Works for me.

maybe excel is the right choice. I don't give microsoft enough credit at times...

 

Is it difficult to say remove a row buy cutting it to be placed in another excel dock?

Like I sell a book and decide to cut it from the for sale list and add it to am items sold version of another doc?

Excel is your friend, Wally. It's like when they say we only use X % of our brain's capacity (whether true, I don't know), but most people use excel like a calculator. There's so much more to it, and I learn a new trick/function/application daily.

I use Comicbase, it does an excellent job, it's just not free.

Might want to also give MS Access a try. It's been over a decade since I messed w/it and it was very wonky on the front end, but I'm guessing they've made it much user friendly.

Definitely Microsoft Access if you already own it, or you could try the free Office packages, like LibreOffice Base.

If you cut a row from the middle of your "inventory" tab and paste it to your "sold tab" make sure to insert when you paste (this will cause the rows below to move up one). If you simply cut and paste without inserting you will have a blank row where the sold book was.

I just use Excel (or rather OpenOffice Calc).
