Sheet Names

Table Structure
The main table is structured as a dynamic Excel Table named SalesData, spanning from cell A4 to J300 (expandable). The header row starts at A4, and the data begins at row 5. This structure enables automatic expansion when new entries are added, ensuring data consistency and formula integrity.
Columns and Data Types

|---|---|---|
| A: Transaction ID (Unique) | Text (with auto-increment) | Unique identifier for each sale. Auto-generated using a formula to ensure no duplicates. |

| C: Customer Name | Text | Name of the customer or client. Required field for audit trail. |
| D: Product/Service Sold | Text | Description of product or service. Supports multiple entries per row. |
| E: Quantity | Numerical (Integer) | Number of units sold. Must be a positive integer. |
| F: Unit Price ($) | Numerical (Currency) | Price per unit in USD. Formatted as currency with 2 decimal places. |
| G: Total Amount ($) | Numerical (Currency, Read-Only) | Calculated as Quantity × Unit Price. Locked from manual edit. |
| H: Sales Representative | Text | Name of the salesperson responsible for the transaction. |
| I: Payment Status | Text (Dropdown) | Options: Paid, Pending, Overdue, Refunded. Used to flag audit-relevant statuses. |
| J: Audit Flag | Text (Automated) | Auto-flagged based on conditions (e.g., overdue payments, large transactions). |
Formulas Required
- Transaction ID (Column A):
Formula:=TEXT(TODAY(),"YYYYMMDD")&"-"&TEXT(ROW()-4,"000")
This generates unique IDs like "20241130-001", ensuring traceability and chronological order. - Total Amount (Column G):
Formula:=E5*F5(applied to all rows in the table) - Audit Flag (Column J):
Formula:=IF(OR(I5="Overdue", F5>1000, E5>10), "AUDIT-REVIEW", IF(I5="Refunded", "REFUND-SCAN", ""))
Automatically highlights transactions that require closer scrutiny during audit preparation. - Total Revenue (Cell B348):
Formula:=SUM(G:G)— displays aggregate revenue at the top of the table.
Conditional Formatting
- Overdue Payments: Highlight cells in Column I with red fill if value is "Overdue".
- Luxury Transactions: If Unit Price exceeds $1,000, apply yellow highlight to the entire row.
- Audit-Flagged Rows: Use a custom rule to highlight rows where Column J is not blank with orange fill and bold text.
- Total Amount Trend: Apply color scales (green to red) across Column G for visual trend analysis.
User Instructions

- Enter sales data starting from Row 5. Do not edit formulas in Columns A, G, or J.
- Use the dropdown list for Payment Status to ensure consistency.
