Formulas and Automated Calculations

The template leverages built-in Excel formulas to ensure data integrity and automatic calculations:

Debt ID Auto-generation: Uses =TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyymmdd")&"-"&TEXT(ROW()-1,"000") in the first row, with relative references for new rows.
Interest Calculation: In the Debt Overview sheet, uses =SUMPRODUCT([Current Balance], [Interest Rate]) to compute total annual interest expense.
Past Due Indicator: Conditional logic in Status column: =IF([@[Due Date]]


    Monthly Payment Projection: Calculates cumulative payments over time using the SUMIFS function across the Payment Schedule.
    Total Debt Summary: On Dashboard, uses =SUM([Current Balance]) to aggregate all current outstanding debts.



Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual data interpretation and highlight key financial risks:


    Past Due Payments: Highlight rows where the due date is before today using a red background.
    High Interest Rates: Apply yellow fill to any interest rate above 15%.
    High-Balance Debts: Flag debts over $50,000 with a bold border and dark blue text.
    Status Updates: Color-code status cells: green for "Active", gray for "On Hold", green checkmark for "Repaid".
