Sheet Names

The template consists of three core sheets:

2. Employee Master List: A reference sheet containing essential employee data such as name, department, position, and contact information.
3. Dashboard Overview: A visual summary sheet providing key metrics through charts and summary statistics derived from the Bill Tracker and Employee Master List.

Table Structures & Column Details

1. Bill Tracker (Main Table)

This table captures all employee-related billing details, including vendor invoices, payroll deductions, benefits charges, training fees, and other recurring or one-time expenses.

2. Employee Master List

This reference sheet ensures consistency in employee names across the Bill Tracker and enables efficient filtering and reporting.

3. Dashboard Overview

This sheet provides visual and numerical summaries of key performance indicators related to employee billing and management.

Formulas Required

The following formulas are embedded across the template to automate calculations:

• Bill ID Auto-generation (Bill Tracker):
  =TEXT(ROW()-1,"BIL-000")
  This formula generates a unique Bill ID starting from BIL-001 based on the row number.
• Days Until Due (Bill Tracker):
  =IF(Due_Date="", "", DATEDIF(TODAY(), Due_Date, "d"))
  Calculates how many days remain until the bill is due. Returns blank if due date is empty.
• Overdue Status Indicator:
  =IF(AND(Status<>"Paid", Due_Date<TODAY()), "Yes", "No")
  Flags bills as overdue if status is not “Paid” and due date has passed.
• Total Monthly Bill Amount (Dashboard):
  =SUMIFS(Bill_Tracker!$G:$G, Bill_Tracker!$F:$F, "Paid", Bill_Tracker!$B:$B, ">="&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),1), Bill_Tracker!$B:$B, "<="&EOMONTH(TODAY(),0))
  Calculates total amount paid in the current month.
• Count of Overdue Bills (Dashboard):
  =COUNTIFS(Bill_Tracker!$F:$F, "<>Paid", Bill_Tracker!$C:$C, "<"&TODAY())
  Counts how many bills are overdue.
• Bill Type Distribution (Dashboard):
  Use a Pivot Table or COUNTIF based on Bill_Type column to generate category-wise counts.

Conditional Formatting

• Overdue Bills: Highlight rows in red if the Due Date is before today and Status is not “Paid”.
• Pending Bills: Use yellow highlight for bills where Status = "Pending" and due date is within 7 days.
• High Value Bills: Format rows where Amount > $1,000 with bold red text.
• Status Color Coding: Apply color labels: Green for “Paid”, Orange for “Pending”, Red for “Overdue”.

2. Navigate to the Bill Tracker sheet to enter new bills. Use dropdowns for Bill Type and Status to maintain consistency.
