Formulas Required
- PMT Function:
=PMT(Interest_Rate/Periods_Per_Year, Total_Payments, -Loan_Amount)— Calculates fixed periodic payments. - PPMT & IPMT Functions: Use these to separate principal and interest components in amortization.
- IF Statements: Conditional logic for validation (e.g., “If Loan Term ≤ 0, show error”).
- SUMIFS / SUMPRODUCT: Aggregate data across multiple criteria for dashboards.
- CAGR Formula:
=((Ending_Value/Beginning_Value)^(1/Periods))-1 - DSCR Calculation:
DSCR = Operating_Cash_Flow / (Principal + Interest)
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Amortization Schedule: Highlight rows where interest exceeds 50% of payment (red), and show green shading for periods with low debt burden.
- Growth Impact: Color-code improvement metrics: Green for positive ROIC, Yellow for neutral, Red if negative or below threshold.
- Loan Overview: Flag high DSCR values (<1.2) in red; highlight break-even revenue if it exceeds 10% of current sales.
