Formulas Used in the Template

This template uses a combination of lookup, conditional, and aggregation formulas to automate calculations and ensure data integrity.

Bill ID Auto-Generation: =CONCATENATE("BILL-", TEXT(COUNTA(Bills_Details[Bill ID])+1,"000")) – Generates unique IDs sequentially.
Employee Name Lookup: =IFERROR(VLOOKUP([@Employee ID], Employee_Master, 2, FALSE), "Not Found") – Pulls employee name from a master list (optional).
Status Color Coding: Conditional formatting uses formulas to highlight status cells.
Total by Department: In the Summary Dashboard: =SUMIFS(Bills_Details[Amount], Bills_Details[Department], A2).
Monthly Spend Total: =SUMIFS(Bills_Details[Amount], Bills_Details[Date Issued], ">&"&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY())-1,1), Bills_Details[Date Issued], "<="&EOMONTH(TODAY(),0)).
Overdue Bill Count: =COUNTIFS(Bills_Details[Status], "Overdue", Bills_Details[Due Date], "<"&TODAY()).

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance readability and highlight critical information:

Overdue Status: If the Due Date is earlier than today and Status is "Pending" or "Overdue", format cell red with white text.
Paid Bills: Green background for cells where Status = "Paid".
Budget Alerts: If Amount exceeds $2,000, apply a bold yellow highlight.
Trend Arrows in Summary Dashboard: Use icon sets to show increase/decrease in monthly spending.
