Table Structure and Columns (Bill Tracker Sheet)

The primary Billing Tracker sheet features a single, well-structured table with the following columns:

Column Name	Data Type	Description / Purpose
Invoice ID	Text (Unique Identifier)	Auto-generated or manually assigned unique code (e.g., INV-2024-001).
Client Name	Text	Name of the client (e.g., "Acme Corp"). Must be consistent across entries.
Date Issued	Date	When the invoice was sent (format: DD/MM/YYYY).
Due Date	Date	Payment deadline. Automatically calculated using formula.
Amount (USD)	Currency (Number)	Total invoice value. Formatted as currency with $ symbol.
Payment Status	Dropdown (Text)	Options: "Pending", "Paid", "Overdue". Used for conditional formatting and reporting.
Paid Date	Date	When payment was received. Leave blank if not paid yet.
Days Overdue	Number (Integer)	Automatically calculated as: =IF(E2="", "", IF(D2
Notes	Text (Optional)	Add remarks (e.g., "Payment delayed due to approval process").

Required Formulas

The following formulas are implemented to automate tracking and reduce manual errors:

Due Date: =DATE(YEAR([Date Issued]), MONTH([Date Issued]), DAY([Date Issued]) + 30)
→ Assumed 30-day billing cycle.
Days Overdue: =IF(OR(Payment Status="Paid", [Due Date] >= TODAY()), 0, TODAY() - [Due Date])
→ Returns zero if paid or not yet overdue.
Overdue Flag (for dashboard): =IF([Days Overdue]>0, "Yes", "No")
Total Outstanding Amount: =SUMIF(Payment Status, "Pending", Amount)
→ Used in the Dashboard to show total unpaid invoices.
Client-Specific Totals (via Pivot Table or SUMIFS): Use =SUMIFS(Amount, Client Name, "Acme Corp", Payment Status, "Pending") for client-level reporting.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual clarity and identify critical items quickly:

Overdue Invoices: Apply red background + bold text to rows where Days Overdue > 0.
Paid Invoices: Apply green highlight to the entire row when status is "Paid".
Pending with High Risk: Use yellow fill for invoices over 15 days overdue.
Due Soon (Next 7 Days): Light orange background for invoices where Due Date is within the next 7 days.
