Oolite Commerce Worksheet
Oolite is an advanced, extended, extensible clone of a classic game called Elite.
Early advancement in the game must be done through trading, although you could be trading either legal or illegal goods. Because there are hundreds of systems in the game spread across multiple galaxies, there's a lot of information to keep track of. There's seventeen different commodities and each planet values them differently - and each planet's value for each commodity changes over time! While some people have provided printable fill-in forms to record commerce information, they do not represent any reasonable method for keeping track of all this data.
Now, in the real world (postulating sufficient scientific advancement for us to be flying around in small spacecraft) you would have a computer that would keep track of all this for you. It would connect to the trading network and download the values, and keep track of them over time.
In order to provide myself this functionality I have developed an Excel spreadsheet which has a tab for each system and an index tab. Each system's tab allows you to make an entry for each visit you make and these are averaged; these averages are then displayed on the index tab, and then averaged to produce a galactic average.
The spreadsheet does not provide any functionality to make adding systems easier, but there is a tab with help information and if you have basic competency with spreadsheets you will be able to maintain it.
This spreadsheet has a bunch of data from my universe, which may or may not apply to yours.
