Expense tracker

Greetings,

I need some help with this expense tracker app.

I would like it to have a column for total budget on top, and should be able to keep on deducting the expenses from the total budget as expenses are added.

The app should also allow users to download their financial report as pdf.

Attached below is the aia file.

Any help will really be appreciated.

I renamed some of your components to make clearer what each one is supposed to hold.

You don't need three tags/values for this app.

The Expenses tag/value table has all the data you need to dynamically figure out total cost and number of items by looping through the expenses table.

That makes it simpler to recalculate totals after you have added or deleted a row to/from the expenses table.

P.S. A CSV file is more useful than a pdf file, because it can be imported into spreadsheet programs. Also, you don't need extensions for that.

Here is some draggable code you can use to simplify your app, using advanced list blocks:

If you could provide me with your aia file for the modification made having that download button of csv file. I am still new to app mit inventor (app development) and trying to learn things. I would really appreciate it.

Could you contact me in private if possible?

Look in the list block pallette for the block that converts a table to CSV text

Route the text CSV into a sharing component block.

The sharing component lets you send text across apps.

Unfortunately we do not know what you tried

It would really help if you provided a screenshot of your relevant blocks, so we can see what you are trying to do, and where the problem may be.

To get an image of your blocks, right click in the Blocks Editor and select "Download Blocks as Image". You might want to use an image editor to crop etc. if required. Then post it here in the community.
