Sheet Names

• Debt Overview: Summary sheet showing total debt balance, interest rates, payment schedules, and monthly commitments.
• Debt Details: Primary data sheet containing individual debt entries with full metadata.
• Monthly Payments: Tracks planned and actual payments across the year with variance analysis.
• Payment History: Logs all transactional payment records, including dates, amounts, and statuses.
• Dashboards & Visuals: Embedded charts and KPI indicators for at-a-glance financial health monitoring.
• Settings & Parameters: User-configurable fields for interest rates, repayment terms, currency settings.

Table Structures and Data Types

The core data structure in the Debt Details sheet is organized into a relational table with the following columns:

All monetary values are stored as numeric (currency) types with two decimal places. Dates are formatted as YYYY-MM-DD for consistency and sorting. Status is a dropdown field with options: "Pending", "In Progress", "Paid in Full", "Overdue", and "Revised". Interest rate is stored as a percentage (e.g., 5.25).

Formulas Required

The template uses several essential formulas to automate calculations:

• Monthly Payment Calculation: =PMT(B13/12, B14, -B12) – calculates monthly payment based on interest rate and term.
• Total Interest Forecast: =SUMPRODUCT(COLUMN(E:E), E:E * (E:E - D:D)) – estimates total interest over the life of each loan.
• Overdue Flag Detection: =IF(DATEVALUE(F3) < TODAY(), "Overdue", "") – auto-tags entries where due date has passed.
• Running Balance: Cumulative formula in the Payment History sheet: =SUM($G$2:G2).
• Monthly Summary Totals: Using SUMIF across status filters to compute total obligations per category.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To improve data visibility, the template applies conditional formatting:

• Red Highlight for Overdue Entries: If "Payment Due Date" is before today, cell in "Status" column turns red.
• Yellow Warning for Payments Due in Next 7 Days: Applies yellow highlight to entries where due date falls within the next week.
• Green Highlight for Fully Paid Status: Entries marked "Paid in Full" are shaded green with a subtle border.
• Gradient Fill Based on Interest Rate: Cells with interest rates above 6% show orange to red gradient fill.
