Formulas and Calculations

This template leverages advanced Excel functions to automate insights. Key formulas include:

Auto-incrementing Bill ID: Use =IF(A2="", "", "INV-"&YEAR(TODAY())&"-"&TEXT(COUNTA(A:A), "000")) in cell B2 to generate unique IDs.
Monthly Total by Category: In the Monthly Analysis sheet, use =SUMIFS(DataEntry!$E:$E, DataEntry!$C:$C, $A2, DataEntry!$A:$A, ">= "&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY())-1, 1), DataEntry!$A:$A,"<= "&EOMONTH(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY())-1, 1),0))
Forecasting: Apply linear regression with =FORECAST.LINEAR to predict upcoming spending based on past trends.
Status Indicator: Use =IF(D2="Overdue", "Red", IF(D2="Pending", "Yellow", "Green")) for color-coded status cells.
Total Growth Spend: In the Forecast & Growth Targets sheet, use =SUMIFS(DataEntry!$E:$E, DataEntry!$H:$H, "Customer Acquisition") to aggregate costs per initiative.

Due Dates: Highlight cells red if due date is within 3 days or overdue.
