FORMULAS REQUIRED

Auto-sums for each section: Use =SUM(B4:B7) (example) to calculate totals under Operating, Investing, and Financing activities.
Total net cash flow: =D4 + D5 + D6
Cash at end of period: =B10 + C10, where B10 is "Cash at Beginning" and C10 is "Net Increase".
Validation checks: Use data validation to restrict input to numbers only in financial fields. Conditional formulas flag negative cash balances or zero entries that may require review.
Dynamic references: All values on the main statement pull from the "Data Input & Assumptions" sheet via named ranges (e.g., =Input!B3) to ensure consistency and reduce manual errors.

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING

Negative cash flows in operating section: Highlighted in red with bold text to signal potential liquidity concerns.
Net increase/decrease in cash: Green for positive change (increasing liquidity), red for negative (cash burn).
Cash at end of period below a threshold: Conditional formatting triggers an alert if the ending balance drops below 10% of beginning balance.
Data entry warnings: If input fields are left blank, cells turn yellow with a warning icon for user attention.
