Formulas Required
- BILL ID Auto-Generation:
In cell A2 (and copied down):
=CONCATENATE("INV-", YEAR(TODAY()), "-", TEXT(ROW()-1,"000"))
This creates unique IDs like INV-2024-001, INV-2024-002, etc. - Status Calculation:
In the Status column (E), use a formula to auto-set status based on due date and payment date:
=IF(AND(D2<>"", D2<=TODAY()), "Paid", IF(TODAY()>D2, "Overdue", "Pending"))
This dynamically updates the status depending on whether the due date has passed or a payment is recorded. - Days Overdue:
In a new column (F):
=IF(AND(Status="Overdue", D2 - Total Billed & Paid by Client:
Use SUMIFS formulas in the Analysis View to calculate totals per client.
Conditional Formatting
- Overdue Bills: Highlight cells in red if due date is past and status is "Overdue". Apply conditional formatting rule:
=AND(Status="Overdue", TODAY()>Due Date) - Upcoming Due Dates (Next 7 Days): Use yellow highlight for bills due within the next week.
- Billing Date Trend: Color scale on "Billing Date" column to show recent vs. older invoices (e.g., green for newest, red for oldest).
- Status Colors: Apply color coding: Green = Paid, Yellow = Pending, Red = Overdue.
