Formulas Required

The template leverages powerful Excel formulas for automatic calculations and data aggregation:

Invoice Amount Calculation (in Time Entries): =IF(Billable_Status="Yes", Hours_Worked * Billing_Rate, 0) This auto-calculates the billable amount per time entry.
Monthly Summary (Client Summary Dashboard): =SUMIFS(tblTimeEntries[Hours Worked], tblTimeEntries[Date], ">=1/1/2024", tblTimeEntries[Date], "<=31/01/2024", tblTimeEntries[Client Name], "ABC Corp") Aggregates total hours by client per month.
Total Billable Hours (Dashboard): =SUMIFS(tblTimeEntries[Hours Worked], tblTimeEntries[Billable Status], "Yes") Calculates overall billable hours across all entries.
Revenue Generated: =SUMPRODUCT(tblTimeEntries[Hours Worked], tblTimeEntries[Billing Rate]) Provides total revenue from all billable time entries.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance readability and highlight critical data, the template includes:

Billable Status Highlighting: Red fill for "No" status to flag non-billable hours.
Billing Rate Thresholds: Orange highlights for rates below $50/hr (configurable in settings).
High Time Entries: Green shading for entries exceeding 6 hours to flag potential overwork.
Dates in Future: Pink background for any date entered beyond today.
