Hello everyone--I haven't been on this forum in about two years, so hello again!

I've just started graduate school, and I'm trying to create a simple spreadsheet to keep track of the costs of my textbooks. However, after a week of 12-hour days it seems I am brain-dead. I was never that great with Excel to begin with. :(

So, can anyone help me set this up? I would like to list books by semester, then the titles of the books purchased for that semester, followed by the cost. Then, I would like to be able to total the costs so I'll know how much I've spent on books for each semester.

If this is something I can find as a template through Microsoft, please let me know. Or if any of you kind souls would like to set this up for me out of the goodness of your heart, or just walk me through it, I would be so grateful!

Thank you very much!
