Formulas Required for Automation and Accuracy
- PMT Function: Calculates annual payment:
=PMT(AnnualInterestRate, LoanTerm, -LoanAmount) - Interest Portion: Formula in each year:
= BeginningBalance * AnnualInterestRate - Principal Portion: Formula:
= AnnualPayment - InterestPortion - Ending Balance: Formula:
= BeginningBalance - PrincipalPortion - Cash Flow Coverage Ratio: Formula:
= CashFlowFromOperations / AnnualPayment - Growth Rate Calculation: For revenue and EBITDA:
=(CurrentYearValue - PreviousYearValue) / PreviousYearValue - Conditional Validation: Use IF statements to flag if coverage ratio is below 1.2x, signaling risk.
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Risk Alert (Red): If annual payment exceeds 30% of projected operating cash flow — highlight in red.
- On Track (Green): When actual growth rate ≥ projected growth rate — highlight in green.
- Divergence Warning (Orange): If ending loan balance is higher than expected after 2 years — apply orange fill.
- Fully Paid Status: Once balance reaches $0, the row turns dark green and bold text is applied.
