Columns and Data Types
The main balance sheet table uses two primary columns:| Column | Description | Data Type/Format |

- Balancing Check: =IF(ABS(Total Equity - (Total Assets - Total Liabilities)) < 0.01, "Balanced", "Not Balanced")
- Percentage of Total Assets: =Amount / Total Assets (formatted as percentage)
- Current Ratio: =Total Current Assets / Total Current Liabilities (displayed in dashboard)
