- Upcoming Due Dates Alert Section (Next 30 days)
Sheet 2: Debt Schedule & Compliance Log (Main Data Table)

| Column | Data Type | Description |

| Debt ID (Unique) | Text/Number (Auto-generated) | A unique identifier for each debt obligation (e.g., D-2024-001). |
| Loan Type | Dropdown List (Text) | Options: Corporate Bond, Bank Loan, Line of Credit, Government Grant, etc. |
| Creditor Name | Text | Name of the financial institution or entity to which debt is owed. |
| Original Amount (USD) | Number (Currency format) | Total principal amount at inception. |
| Budgeted Payment Amount | Number (Currency format) | <The amount allocated in the budget for this debt payment. |

| Date Paid | Date | Date when payment was processed. |
| Due Date | Date | Original scheduled due date for the payment. |

Sheet 3: Monthly Budget vs. Actuals (Trend Analysis)

| Total Budgeted Payments | Number (Currency) | SUM of all budgeted payments for that month. |

| Variance Percentage | Percent | = (Variance / Budgeted) * 100. Shows deviation from plan. |
Formulas Required for Automation and Accuracy
- Debt ID Auto-Generation: In the "Debt Schedule" sheet, use a formula like
=CONCATENATE("D-", YEAR(TODAY()), "-", TEXT(COUNTA(A:A)+1,"000"))to create unique IDs. - Compliance Status Logic: Use
=IF(DATE(YYYY,MM,DD) <= TODAY(), IF(DatePaid <> "", "Compliant", "Overdue"), "Pending"). - Total Outstanding Debt: On the Dashboard:
=SUMIFS('Debt Schedule & Compliance Log'!C:C,'Debt Schedule & Compliance Log'!D:D,"<>0") - SUMIFS('Debt Schedule & Compliance Log'!E:E, 'Debt Schedule & Compliance Log'!E:E,"<>0"). - Compliance Rate:
=COUNTIF(ComplianceStatusRange, "Compliant") / COUNTA(ComplianceStatusRange). - Variance Calculation: In Monthly sheet:
=B2 - C2(where B is Budgeted and C is Actual).
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance visual tracking, apply these rules across the Debt Schedule & Compliance Log sheet:
- Overdue Payments: Highlight rows where
Due Date < TODAY()andDate Paid = "". Use red fill with white text. - Budget Overrun: If Actual Payment > Budgeted Payment, highlight in yellow.
- Compliant Payments: Green background for "Compliant" status cells.
- Near Due Dates (Next 7 days): Apply orange highlighting to rows where Due Date is within next 7 days and not yet paid.
