Sheet Name: Client Debt Summary (Main Worksheet)

Table Structures and Data Layout

The main sheet is divided into four key sections:

1. Client Information Header
2. Debt Portfolio Overview Table
3. Monthly Payment & Interest Forecast (6-Month Projection)
4. Budget Dashboard with Visual Indicators

1. Client Information Header (Top Section)

This section includes fixed metadata at the top of the page:

2. Debt Portfolio Overview Table (Middle Section)

This table lists all active debts and their current status:

Data Types:

• Debt Type: Text (dropdown list with common categories: Credit Card, Auto Loan, Student Loan, Personal Loan, Mortgage).
• Balance Owed: Currency format ($#,##0.00), numeric input.
• Interest Rate: Percentage format (e.g., 18.5%), numeric input.
• Minimum Monthly Payment: Currency format, calculated or manually entered.
• Last Payment Date: Date type (MM/DD/YYYY), user-input or auto-filled via date picker.
• Status: Text with dropdown options: Active, Repayment, Paid Off, Deferred.

3. Monthly Payment & Interest Forecast (6-Month Projection)

This section projects total monthly payments and cumulative interest for the next six months:

Formulas Required (Critical to Functionality)

• Total Debt Balance: =SUMIF(Balance Owed Range, "Active", Balance Owed Column) → Aggregates all active debts.
• Average Interest Rate: =AVERAGEIF(Status Range, "Active", Interest Rate Column)
• Total Monthly Payment (All Active Debts): =SUMIF(Status, "Active", Min Monthly Payment Column)
• Cumulative Interest (6-Month Projection): Use SUM of interest column in the forecast table.
• Debt-to-Income Ratio: =Total Monthly Payment / Monthly Income → User inputs monthly income in a designated cell.

Conditional Formatting (Visual Intelligence)

To enhance readability and highlight critical data points, apply these conditional formatting rules:

• High Interest Rate (>15%): Red fill with white text (e.g., Credit Card A).
• Past Due Status: If Last Payment Date is more than 30 days ago, highlight the row in orange.
• Over Budget Threshold: If Total Monthly Payment exceeds 25% of monthly income, flag with red border.
• Debt Reduction Progress: Green bar chart gradient for principal reduction per month (using data bars).
