Like a spreadsheet

Simulating spreadsheet logic in Coda
Most people are used to a spreadsheet approach when it comes to interest related calculations. Such an approach has a line (row) for each year and or month. To fill out the table we use controllers and a button. contains a simpler approach with a few variables and results in the same row.
