=COUNTIFS(BillLog!$D:$D, "<"&TODAY(), BillLog!$G:$G, "≠Paid")– Counts overdue but unpaid bills. - Monthly Spending by Category (Budget vs Actual):
=SUMIFS(BillLog!$E:$E, BillLog!$C:$C, "Tuition", BillLog!$D:$D, ">="&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),1), BillLog!$D:$D, "<="&EOMONTH(TODAY(),0))– Sum of tuition costs for the current month. - Status Indicator (Conditional Formatting Helper):
