Sheet Names & Structure

The template consists of four essential sheets that work together to provide complete visibility into the client billing process:

• 1. Weekly Bill Summary: The central dashboard showing high-level metrics, trends, and summaries for all clients on a weekly basis.
• 2. Client Bill Details: The primary data entry sheet where all individual invoices, payments, and billing entries are recorded with full details.
• 3. Payment History: A dedicated log that tracks every payment received, including dates, methods (e.g., bank transfer, credit card), and reconciliation notes.
• 4. Charts & Dashboard: A visual analytics sheet featuring interactive charts and KPIs derived from the data in other sheets.

Table Structure & Columns (Client Bill Details Sheet)

The Client Bill Details sheet contains a structured table with the following columns and corresponding data types:

Required Formulas

The template uses dynamic formulas to automate calculations and enhance reporting accuracy:

• Total Amount Due ($): =IF(OR([@Invoice Amount]=0,[@Tax Amount]=0), 0, [@Invoice Amount] + [@Tax Amount])
• Balance Due ($): =MAX(0, [@Total Amount Due] - [@Payment Received])
• Week Ending Date (Automated): When a date is entered in a cell, use the formula: =DATE(YEAR(A2), MONTH(A2), DAY(A2)+7-WEEKDAY(A2, 1)) to auto-calculate the following Friday.
• Sum of Payments by Week: Use SUMIFS in the Weekly Bill Summary sheet to aggregate payments per week: =SUMIFS('Client Bill Details'[@[Payment Received]], 'Client Bill Details'[@[Week Ending Date]], B2)
• Total Outstanding Balance: On the dashboard, use: =SUMIFS('Client Bill Details'[@[Balance Due]], 'Client Bill Details'[@Status], "<>Paid In Full")

Conditional Formatting Rules

To improve data readability and highlight critical statuses, apply the following conditional formatting rules:

• Overdue Invoices: Highlight cells in the "Status" column red if status is "Overdue" (use rule: Cell Value = "Overdue").
• Partially Paid: Use yellow background for any row where Balance Due > 0 and Payment Received > 0.
• High Balance Due: Highlight cells in "Balance Due ($)" column green if value exceeds $1,000.
• Paid In Full: Apply green checkmark icon set for rows where Balance Due = 0 and Payment Received equals Total Amount Due.
