(Applied in the Bill ID column using a helper cell or via VBA if auto-population is needed.) - Days Until Due:
=D3-TODAY()
(Calculates how many days remain until the due date. Used for alerting purposes.) - Overdue Indicator:
=IF(AND([@Status]="Not Paid",[@DueDate]
Flags overdue bills for immediate action. - Total Amount by Department: Used in the Dashboard with
SUMIFS(), e.g.,=SUMIFS([Amount (USD)], [Department/Project], "IT"). - Count of Open Bills:
=COUNTIF([Payment Status], "Not Paid") - Next Due Date:
=MINIFS([Due Date], [Payment Status], "Not Paid")
Conditional Formatting Rules (Enhanced for Administrative Support)
To improve visual oversight and alert users to critical actions, the following rules are applied:- Overdue Bills: If Due Date is before today and Status is Not Paid → Highlight cell red with bold text.
- Due Within 7 Days: If Days Until Due ≤ 7 → Highlight yellow with warning icon.
- Paid Bills: Payment Status = "Paid" → Apply green background and checkmark icon.
- High Value Bills (> $1,000): Amount > $1,000 → Highlight in orange to flag for review.
- Past Due & Unpaid: Combine two conditions (Overdue AND Status ≠ Paid) → Apply bold red font and underline.
