Formulas Required

The template relies on dynamic formulas for accuracy and automation: - Next Payment Due Date: ```excel =IF(E14="Active", EDATE([@Start Date],1), "") ``` - Remaining Budget: ```excel =[@[Allocated Debt Budget]] - [@Used Funds] ``` - Debt Status Logic (in Summary Dashboard): ```excel =IF(COUNTIFS(Sheet2[Status], "Overdue", Sheet2[Next Payment Due Date], "<"&TODAY()), "Overdue", IF(COUNTIFS(Sheet2[Status], "Active"), "Ongoing", IF(COUNTIFS(Sheet2[Status], "Paid in Full"), "Completed", ""))) ``` - Total Outstanding Debt: ```excel =SUMIF(Debt_Schedule[Status],"Active",Debt_Schedule[Principal Amount]) ```

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual clarity and urgency alerts: - Overdue Payments: Highlight cells in red if "Next Payment Due Date" is earlier than today's date and status is "Active." - Budget Usage Alerts: - Amber fill for Remaining Budget between 0%–20% of allocated amount. - Red fill when Remaining Budget ≤ $0 (over budget). - Status Indicators: Green checkmark emoji for “Paid in Full,” yellow exclamation mark for “At Risk,” red cross for “Overdue.”

User Instructions

Use the "Budget Allocation Tracker" to assign debt servicing funds per department; update “Used Funds” as payments occur. 4.
