Table Structures and Column Definitions

1. Debt Tracking Dashboard (Main Overview)

This is the central hub for real-time monitoring. It uses dynamic tables with linked data from other sheets.

This sheet stores all detailed debt entries and serves as the primary data source for dashboard calculations.

3. Repayment Schedule Log (Transaction History)

This sheet logs all payments and adjustments related to debts.

Formulas and Dynamic Calculations

• Current Balance: In the Dashboard, use: =IFERROR([@Total Debt] - SUMIFS(RepaymentSchedule[Amount], RepaymentSchedule[Debt ID], [@ID]), 0)
• Days Until Due: =IF(@Due Date<>"", @Due Date - TODAY(), "")
• Status Indicator: Conditional formatting rules use formulas like:

  =AND([@Status]="In Progress", [@Days Until Due]<=7)

  to highlight debts due in the next 7 days.
• Total Debts by Department: Use SUMIFs across sheets to aggregate totals.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Overdue Status: Red fill if Due Date is before today and status is not "Paid Off".
• Due in 7 Days: Orange highlight for debts due within a week.
