Table Structures and Columns

Daily Transactions Sheet

This sheet contains the primary data input table. Each row represents one daily transaction or batch of related entries.

Formulas Required

• Transaction ID (Column B):
  =TEXT(TODAY(),"YYYYMMDD") & "-" & TEXT(COUNTA($B$2:B2)+1,"00")
  This generates a unique, date-based ID that auto-increments with each new entry.
• Profit/Loss Calculation (Column F):
  =IF(D2="Income", E2, -E2)
  Converts income to positive and expenses to negative for accurate profit summing.
• Daily Net Profit (Dashboard - Cell B3):
  =SUMIF('Daily Transactions'!$D:$D, "Income", 'Daily Transactions'!$E:$E) - SUMIF('Daily Transactions'!$D:$D, "Expense", 'Daily Transactions'!$E:$E)
  Calculates net profit for the day.
• Monthly Running Total (Profit Analysis Sheet):
  =SUMIFS('Daily Transactions'!$F:$F, 'Daily Transactions'!$A:$A, ">= "&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),1), 'Daily Transactions'!$A:$A, "<="&EOMONTH(TODAY(),0))
  Sum of all daily profit/loss entries for the current month.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Profit/Loss Highlight: If the Profit/Loss Calculation is positive (income), color cells green. If negative, use red.
• Date Validation: Highlight any date entry older than 14 days or future dates beyond today + 7 days in orange to flag potential input errors.
• Daily Net Profit Status: In the dashboard, if daily profit is below zero, highlight the cell in red. If above average for the month, highlight in green.
