Poker Log/Diary

It is always a good idea to keep track of your peformance at the poker tables. One of the easiest ways I have found is using Microsoft Excel. If you know the basics of formulas in Excel, then you will be able to do something like this fairly easily. Sample:
Date_________Result____Total To Date___Stakes_____Where
May12,2007___$86.00____$86.00__________.25-.50___H.P.
May19,2007___$182.00___$268.00_________.25-.50___H.P.
May25,2007___$161.00___$429.00_________.25-.50___Tim's
May26,2007___$6.00_____$435.00_________.25-.50___H.P.
June1,2007____$524.00___$959.00_________1-2______Caesar's, IN
June2,2007____$307.00___$1,266.00_______.25-.50____H.P.
June9,2007____$533.00___$1,799.00_______.25-.50____H.P.

The "Result" being my profit/loss. I suggest using a seperate log for tournaments with a column for buy in and another for place finished out of how many.
