Some organizations like to print volunteers’ birthdays by month without the birth year. You can produce a report with that list by making a Do-It-Yourself Volunteers spreadsheet.

Do-It-Yourself Volunteers Spreadsheet

  1. Spreadsheets | Volunteer Spreadsheets | Do-It-Yourself.
  2. Click Add Spreadsheet and name it, e.g., Birthday List. Save the name.
  3. Choose each desired field in the middle column – Available Columns – and click Add to include it in Selected Columns. For example, Firstname, Last name, Birth Date Day, Birth Date Day.
  4. When you click Prepare SS you have the option to use a filter on the volunteers’ birth month.
