Formulas Required

The template leverages advanced Excel functions for automation and data integrity:

Auto-Debt ID Generation: Uses a combination of TEXT, COUNTA, and IF formulas to create unique IDs in sequence.
Current Balance Calculation: Formula subtracts cumulative payments from original balance: =Original Balance - SUMIF(PaymentRange, DebtID)
Status Indicator: Uses conditional logic: =IF(TODAY() > Due Date + 30, "Overdue", IF(TODAY() > Due Date, "Upcoming", "On Time"))
Next Due Date: =EDATE(Due Date, 1) — advances the date by one month.
Daily Interest Accrual (used in Amortization Sheet): =Current Balance * (Interest Rate / 365)
Paid in Full Check: =IF(Current Balance = 0, TRUE, FALSE)

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance data visibility and alert users to critical financial situations:

Overdue Status: Red fill with white text when status = "Overdue"
Upcoming Payments: Yellow background with bold text if due within 7 days.
High Interest Rates: Light pink highlight for interest rates > 15%.
Zero Balance (Paid Off): Green fill, strikethrough font, and locked cell to prevent editing.
Payment Progress Bars: Mini bar charts in the "Status" column showing percentage paid relative to original balance.
