Formulas Required

SUM(),SUBTOTAL(9, ...), and named ranges for accurate aggregation across months. - Cash Flow Calculation: Net Cash Flow = Inflows – Outflows per category.
- Closing Balance Formula: Closing Cash = Opening Cash + Net Change from all activities.
- Pivot Tables (Optional): Use pivot tables in the Dashboard to summarize trends over time.
- Nested IFs & Error Handling: Implement
=IFERROR(..., 0)to avoid #DIV/0! errors.
Conditional Formatting
- Negative Net Cash Flow: Red background with white text (e.g., if value < 0).
