👋, @Sammys! There are a couple ways to leverage Tags in Tiller spreadsheets (Feedbot vs Feeds doesn’t matter with Tags cc @blake) We just today transitioned the Tags Report to being delivered via the Tiller Labs add-on. > [@Docs: Tags Report for Transaction Tagging](https://community.tiller.com/t/add-the-tags-report-for-tracking-transaction-tags/375): > > Overview Tags are a great way to organize your financial data. You can easily add the Tags Report sheet with a few manual steps. The Tags Report: Lists the tags you’re using on your Transactions sheet. Shows you the sum amount for transactions that use that tag. Gives a total count of the transactions using that tag. Offers a tag dropdown to show you transaction details for a specific tag. Provides a summary of the categories where that tag is used for a transaction… Typically, for rental property tracking I recommend that you have a group for each property and then create a unique set of Categories with an identifying pre-fix per property, especially if you want/need to budget for the expenses. Example Group: 123 Magnolia St. Categories: 123-Magnolia Repairs (expense) 123-Magnolia Maintenance (expense) 123-Magnolia Rent (income) You could also use the Tags in Transactions to add a layer of granularity, but the P&L only reports on the Type (income/expense), Group, and Category level. You can find the P&L under Add-ons \> Tiller \> Business \> Generate Reports in the Tiller add-on after you run “Start” You might also find the Category Rollup report useful under Add-ons \> Tiller \> Other Tools \> Category Rollup You can also add Tags to the Categories sheet if you want all transactions for a specific category to be tagged a certain way and this is especially useful for tax reporting in combo with the Category Rollup report (as that report will allow you to run a detailed transaction report on only Tax relevant categories).

This quick start section helps you install a business dashboard, asks you to think through your category schema, and spend time categorizing transactions.

Using tags at the Category offer another level of data organization. You can quickly apply the same tag to any transaction based on the category assigned. You can also take advantage of a few of the reporting features and templates offered in the Tiller add-on when you use the Tag column in your Categories sheet. How to add the Tags column to the Categories sheet Open the Categories sheet Right click the “Type” column and choose “Insert 1 right” Select the ent… > [@Docs: Category Rollup Report](https://community.tiller.com/t/using-the-category-rollup-report/121): > > Use our two category rollup reports to get a detailed, transaction-by-transaction view of your finances for a selected time period organized by type, group, and category— available in two report types: Category Rollup - use for line-item detail grouped by category across a specified period Budget Period Rollup - use for reporting against a Tiller-Money budget at the end of a month Category Rollup and Budget Period Rollup reports present static views of your data.
