| Days Overdue | Number (Integer) | Calculated as: =IF(Payment Date="", TODAY()-Due Date, 0). Negative values indicate early payment. |

Formulas Used in the Bill Tracker Sheet
The template leverages a range of Excel formulas to ensure data accuracy and automation:
- Days Overdue:
=IF([@Payment Date]="", TODAY()-[@Due Date], 0) - Paid Status (Auto-Update):
=IF([@Payment Date]="", IF(TODAY()>[@Due Date], "Overdue", "Pending"), "Paid") - Total Outstanding Amount: In the Dashboard, uses
SUMIFS(Bill Amount, Paid Status, "Pending") + SUMIFS(Bill Amount, Paid Status, "Overdue") - Percentage of Overdue Invoices:
=COUNTIF(Paid Status,"Overdue") / COUNTA(Paid Status)
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance readability and highlight key financial alerts, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:
- Overdue Bills: Background color set to red if Days Overdue > 0.
- Pending Bills (Approaching Due Date): Orange fill if Due Date is within 7 days.
- Paid Bills: Green background for cells in the Paid Status column where status = "Paid".
- High Value Invoices: Applies a bold font and yellow highlight for Bill Amount > £5,000.
