Formulas Required

This template relies on robust Excel formulas to maintain accuracy and automation:

• =VLOOKUP(EmployeeID, EmployeeData!$A$2:$H$100, 4, FALSE) – Fetches hourly rate based on employee ID.
• =SUMIFS(TimeEntries!$D:$D, TimeEntries!$B:$B, EmployeeID) – Sums total hours for a given employee.
• =IF(InvoiceDate + 30 > TODAY(), "Pending", "Overdue") – Tracks invoice status.
• =ROUND(SUBTOTAL * (1 + TAX_RATE), 2) – Applies tax and rounds to two decimal places.
• – Generates sequential invoice numbers.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity and financial oversight:

• Overdue Invoices: Red fill with white text if Due Date < TODAY().
• High Hourly Rates: Highlight rows where hourly rate > $100 in yellow.
• Pending Approvals: Blue background for Time Entries with Status = "Submitted".
• Total Amounts: Green shading for invoice totals exceeding $5,000 (user-configurable).
