Formulas & Automation

• SUMIFS() + FILTER(): Calculates total spending per category and subcategory across the year.
• COUNTIF() / COUNTIFS(): Tracks number of pending reimbursements or late submissions.

• Goal Progress Formula: = (Current Savings / Target Amount) * 100 in the Goals sheet for percentage completion.
• VLOOKUP()/XLOOKUP(): Pulls budgeted values from the Monthly Budgets sheet into the Dashboard.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity, conditional formatting is applied across all sheets:

• Red/Yellow/Green Traffic Light System: For overdue reimbursements (red), near-deadline (yellow), or on-time (green).
• Data Bars: Visualize spending intensity within categories.
• Icon Sets: Show progress toward monthly budgets with arrows and flags.
• Date Highlighting: Past-due dates are highlighted in bold red if unpaid after 7 days of the due date.
