Formulas Required
The template uses dynamic formulas to automate calculations and ensure accuracy:- Net Daily Balance (Column F):
=IF(D2="Income", E2, -E2)– Automatically converts income (+) and expenses (-). - Cumulative Balance: In a separate column or summary row:
=SUM(F$2:F2), applied down the column. - Total Monthly Income: On the "Monthly Summary" sheet:
=SUMIF('Daily Log'!D:D, "Income", 'Daily Log'!E:E) - Total Monthly Expenses by Category: Uses
SUMIFSto calculate spending per category across a selected month. - Budget vs Actual: Compares planned budget (from "Budget Planner") with actual spending using conditional logic.
Conditional Formatting
To enhance readability and highlight critical information, the following rules are applied:- Red Highlight for Expenses: Conditional formatting applies a red background to rows where Type = "Expense".
- Green for Income: Green shading when Type = "Income".
- Budget Alerts: If actual spending exceeds 85% of budget, the cell turns yellow; over 100%, it turns red.
- Due Soon or Overdue: Status column is highlighted in orange if Payment Method is "Credit Card" and Date is within 7 days of due date.
