Table Structure – Daily Cash Flow Tracker

B	Description of Transaction	Text/String
C	Inflow (Education Income)	Numeric (Positive) Tuition Grant Received Scholarship Payment Parental Contribution (Daily)

Columns and Data Types in Detail

Date (Column A): Format as Date. Enables chronological tracking and supports filtering by date ranges.
Description (Column B): Text field for recording details such as “Textbook Purchase – Math 101”, “Monthly Tuition Payment”, or “Scholarship Disbursement”.
Inflow (Column C): Numeric. Records all incoming education-related funds. Positive values only.
Outflow (Column D): Numeric. Records all education-related expenditures. Positive values only.
Category (Column E): Dropdown list with predefined options: Tuition, Textbooks, Transportation, Accommodation, Supplies/Stationery, Extracurriculars, Technology Devices (Laptop/Tablet), Miscellaneous.
Balance (Column F): Formula-based. Calculates running balance after each daily transaction.
Status (Column G): Text field with conditional formatting; displays “On Track” or “Over Budget” based on category limits.

Formulas Required

The following formulas are essential for automation and accuracy:

F5 (Balance Cell) = IF(A5="", "", IF(F4="", C5-D5, F4 + C5 - D5))

This formula calculates the running balance, starting from zero or continuing from the previous day's balance.

G5 (Status) = IF(COUNTIF($E$2:$E$100, E5) > 0, 
    IF(SUMIFS($D$5:$D$100, $E$5:$E$100, E5) > VLOOKUP(E5, 'Expense Categories & Budgets'!A:B, 2, FALSE), "Over Budget", "On Track"), "")

This evaluates whether the current category’s spending exceeds its allocated budget.

H3 (Daily Net Cash Flow) = SUM(C:C) - SUM(D:D)

Used in the Summary Dashboard to show total net cash flow across all days.

Conditional Formatting

- **Negative Balance**: If balance (Column F) is below zero, highlight the cell in red. - **Over Budget Status**: If status (Column G) says “Over Budget”, apply a red background with white text. - **High Inflow/Outflow**: Highlight any transaction over $200 in yellow for review purposes. - **Trend Color Coding**: Use color scales on the Balance column to show upward/downward trends.
