Table Structures and Columns (Loan Master Data Sheet)

This sheet serves as the primary data input hub. It follows a structured table format with consistent column definitions:

Formulas and Calculations (Repayment Schedule Sheet)

This sheet uses dynamic formulas to automatically generate a full amortization schedule based on input from the Loan Master Data. Key formulas include:

• Monthly Payment Calculation:
  =PMT(AnnualInterestRate/12, LoanTermMonths, -LoanAmount) This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required.
• Interest and Principal per Period:
  =IPMT(AnnualInterestRate/12, PeriodNumber, LoanTermMonths, -LoanAmount)
=PPMT(AnnualInterestRate/12, PeriodNumber, LoanTermMonths, -LoanAmount) These calculate interest and principal components for each payment.
• Remaining Balance:
  =PreviousBalance + PrincipalPayment (updated iteratively)
• Status Update (Conditional Logic):
  =IF(EndDate < TODAY(), "In Arrears", IF(EndingBalance = 0, "Paid Off", "Active"))

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance data visibility and user awareness, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

• Overdue Loans: Cells in the “Status” column turn red if the loan’s end date is in the past and balance > 0.
• Pending Payments: Future payment rows with due dates within 30 days are highlighted in orange.
• High-Balance Loans: Loan amounts over $10,000 are marked with a bold red font.
• Status Colors: Use color coding: Green for "Paid Off", Yellow for "On Hold", Blue for "Active".
