Formulas Required
To ensure automation, accuracy, and scalability:
- BILL-ID Generation (Cell A2):
=TEXT(TODAY(),"YYYY")&"-"&TEXT(ROW()-1,"0000")Auto-increments with each new row. - Status Update Logic:
If "Paid On" is populated → auto-update Status to "Paid". Formula in Status column:
=IF(ISBLANK(D2),"Pending",IF(D2<>"", "Paid", E2)) - Overdue Flag:
In a new column, use:
=IF(AND(Status="Pending",DueDate - Monthly Total (Summary Table):
Use SUMIFS to aggregate by Month and Category:
=SUMIFS('Bills & Vendor Records'!$E:$E, 'Bills & Vendor Records'!$B:$B, ">= "&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),1), 'Bills & Vendor Records'!$B:$B, "<= "&EOMONTH(TODAY(),0)) - Departmental Spend Summary: Pivot Table-based or SUMIFS formula to calculate total spend per department.
