Sheet Structure

Data Structure and Columns (Savings Log Sheet)

The Savings Log sheet is the backbone of the template. It uses a normalized table structure to ensure scalability and data integrity.

Formulas Used

The template leverages advanced Excel functions to ensure accuracy and automation:

• Auto-generated Client ID: =UPPER(LEFT(Client_Name, 3))&"-"&TEXT(TODAY(),"YYYYMMDD")
• Running Balance (New Balance): Uses a dynamic formula to sum all previous deposits for the same client, adjusted by date: =IF(ROW()-1=1, Amount_Saved, INDEX(Savings_Log[New Balance], MATCH(Client_ID, Savings_Log[Client ID], 0)-1) + Amount_Saved)
• Monthly Total (in Monthly Reports sheet): =SUMIFS(Savings_Log[Amount Saved], Savings_Log[Client Name], Client_Name, Savings_Log[Date Recorded], ">&"&EOMONTH(TODAY(),-1)+1, Savings_Log[Date Recorded], "<="&EOMONTH(TODAY(),0))
• Goal Completion %: Calculated in the Goal Tracking sheet: =MIN(100, (Current_Balance / Target_Amount) * 100)

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance data readability and highlight key performance indicators, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

• Overdue Goal Reminders: If a goal’s deadline is within 30 days, cells in the "Deadline" column turn orange.
• Savings Progress Bars (in Dashboard): A data bar fills based on progress toward savings goals (e.g., 75% complete = 75% bar filled).
• High-Value Deposits: Amounts over £1,000 are highlighted in green.
• Duplicate Client Entries: Red background is applied when the same client ID appears more than once (prevents accidental duplication).
• Balances Below Threshold: If a balance falls below 10% of the target amount for an emergency fund, it is highlighted in red.
