Key Formulas

The template leverages a series of powerful formulas to automate calculations and maintain accuracy:

• Subtotal: =IF(AND(Hours_Billed>0, Hourly_Rate>0), Hours_Billed * Hourly_Rate, 0)
• Tax Amount: =IF(Tax_Rate > 0, Subtotal * (Tax_Rate/100), 0)
• Total Amount: =Subtotal + Tax_Amount
• Status (Auto): =IF(Paid_Date<>"", "Paid", IF(TODAY() > Due_Date, "Overdue", "Pending"))
• Aging Bucket: =IF(AND(DATEDIF(Due_Date, TODAY(), "D") <= 30, DATEDIF(Due_Date, TODAY(), "D") >= 0), "0–30 Days", IF(AND(DATEDIF(Due_Date, TODAY(), "D") > 30, DATEDIF(Due_Date, TODAY(), "D") <= 60), "31–60 Days", IF(AND(DATEDIF(Due_Date, TODAY(), "D") > 60, DATEDIF(Due_Date, TODAY(), "D") <= 90), "61–90 Days", "Over 90 Days")))

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual tracking and improve readability across the Client Reporting interface:

• Status Column: Red for “Overdue”, Green for “Paid”, Amber for “Pending”.
