Required Formulas

To ensure real-time accuracy and compliance tracking, the following formulas are embedded across the sheets:

Days Until Due (Column I in Bills Summary):
=IF(Due_Date="", "", DATEDIF(TODAY(), Due_Date, "d"))
This calculates how many days remain before a bill is due. Negative values indicate overdue status.
Overdue Flag (Column J):
=IF(AND(Status<>"Paid", Due_Date Identifies bills that are both unpaid and past due—critical for compliance risk assessment.


    Compliance Score (Dashboard):

        =ROUND((COUNTIF(Status_Column, "Paid") / COUNTA(BillsData[Bill ID])) * 100, 1) %

        Calculates overall compliance rate based on percentage of paid bills.
    
    Sum by Category (Dashboard):

        =SUMIFS(BillsData[Amount], BillsData[Category], "Legal")

        Dynamically aggregates bill amounts per compliance category for reporting.



Conditional Formatting Rules

Visual cues are applied to highlight risks and trends:


    Overdue Bills (Status = Overdue): Red fill with bold text.
    Due Within 7 Days: Orange background for bills due in the next week.
    Paid Bills: Green background to indicate compliance success.
    Amount > $5,000 (High-Risk): Yellow highlight for large-value compliance-related bills requiring extra review.
