What you'll build

What you will be able to do

Each lab ends with a concrete result that you build yourself and the checker confirms, cell by cell.

  • Count till 3 at Maple Row Market note by note and coin by coin, and get the total with a single SUMPRODUCT.
  • Work out how much cash should be in each of four tills at close, flag the tills over the drawer limit and find the net cash taken.
  • Work out the change for a $100 note, then split it into the fewest notes and coins with an INT/MOD cascade.
  • Split a shift's transactions by tender, allow for cashback, and find the card sale that never reached the terminal batch.
  • Calculate each shift's over/short, flag the ones outside the tolerance and see why the net figure hides problems.
  • Prepare Saturday's bank deposit: currency, coin, the list of cheques and the total that must match the bag.
  • Check the standard float, work out what the safe is short of for four floats and order it in full straps and rolls.
  • Summarise four weeks of daily closes, smooth the over/short with a 5-day average and chart the trend that a single day hides.

About this course

Every shift ends with the same question: does the drawer match what the system says? This course trains the calculations that answer it. You count a till by denomination, set the starting float and work out expected cash in the drawer. A change-making lab finds the fewest notes and coins using integer division and remainders. You reconcile cash and card takings against the register, flag over and short variances beyond a tolerance and prepare a deposit slip for notes, coins and cheques. The last labs rebuild tomorrow's floats, decide how much coin to order and produce an end-of-day summary with a variance trend chart. For cashiers, bank tellers, retail supervisors and shop owners.

Questions about this course

Is this a subscription?

No. You pay $9.99 once for this course. There is no subscription and nothing renews automatically. Prices are in US dollars; taxes may be added where required.

What exactly do I get?

Can I get a refund?
