Savings Activity Log Table Structure (Sheet 2)

This sheet contains the detailed transaction history for each client. It is structured to support audit trails and complex calculations.

Formulas Required

The template leverages Excel’s full formula capabilities for automation and accuracy:

=SUMIF($A$2:A2, "<=" & A3, $D$2:D2)

This formula calculates the running balance by summing all amounts up to and including the current row.

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(ROUND(A3,0), 'Monthly Summary Report'!A:B, 2, FALSE), "N/A")

Used in the client overview to link monthly totals from the summary sheet.

=COUNTIFS($B$2:$B$1000, "Deposit", $C$2:$C$1000, "<="31/12/2024")

Counts deposits within a specified period for reporting purposes.

=ROUND( (MAX(E:E) - MIN(E:E)) / MIN(E:E), 4 )

Calculates the percentage change in savings over time for trend analysis.

To enhance readability and identify critical data, the template includes dynamic formatting:

• Negative Transactions (Withdrawals): Red background with white text.
• Large Deposits (>£500): Yellow highlight to draw attention.
• Running Balance Growth Rate: Color scales applied to show increases/decreases over time.
