Sheet Structure

The template consists of four distinct but interconnected worksheets:

2. Monthly Summary & Reporting
3. Petty Cash Tracker
4. Dashboard & Charts

Daily Cash Flow Log (Main Sheet)

This is the core worksheet where all daily transactions are recorded. It serves as the primary data entry point for administrative staff.

Table Structure and Columns:

Formulas Used:

• Transaction ID Auto-Increment:
  In cell B2: =IF(A2<>"", "TC"&TEXT(ROW()-1,"000"), ""). This generates a sequential ID (e.g., TC001, TC002) based on row number.
• Daily Net Cash Flow:
  In cell I1: =SUMIF(D:D, "Cash In", F:F) - SUMIF(D:D, "Cash Out", F:F). This calculates net daily cash position.
• Running Balance:
  In cell J2: =IF(ROW()=2, F2, J1 + F2). Creates a cumulative balance column starting from the first row.

Conditional Formatting:

• Cash In vs. Cash Out: Green fill for "Cash In" entries; red fill for "Cash Out" entries.
• Overdue Status: Bold red text and yellow background for any transaction with status "Overdue".
• Above Average Daily Spend: Light orange highlight when amount exceeds the average daily expenditure (calculated dynamically).
• Critical Balance Thresholds: If running balance drops below $100, trigger a warning (red border + bold text).

Petty Cash Tracker

A separate sheet dedicated to monitoring small, frequent office expenditures. Useful for administrative staff managing petty cash funds.

• Columns: Date, Item Purchased, Amount, Approver Name (dropdown), Receipt Attached (Yes/No)
• Formulas: Automatically calculates total petty cash used per month.

Monthly Summary & Reporting

A consolidated view of monthly totals by category and transaction type. Includes pivot tables for analysis and export-ready data.

Dashboard & Charts
