Table Structures and Columns (Main Balance Sheet)

The primary table in the "Balance Sheet (Main)" sheet is structured into three major sections:

Data Types and Formulas

All cells in the main sheet are designed with specific data types to ensure accuracy:

• Text: For category descriptions (e.g., "Mortgage", "Emergency Fund").
• Number (Currency): All financial values formatted as USD with two decimal places.
• Date: In the Asset Details and Liability Tracker sheets, dates are used for purchase, due date, and maturity.

Key Formulas:

=SUMIF(AssetDetails!A:A,"Cash & Savings",AssetDetails!C:C)

Calculates the total value of cash and savings by referencing the "Asset Details" sheet.

=IFERROR((CurrentValue - PreviousValue) / PreviousValue, 0)

Computes percentage change between reporting periods with error handling.

=SUM(AssetsRange) - SUM(LiabilitiesRange)

Determines net worth dynamically based on current totals.

Conditional Formatting

• Positive/Negative Net Worth: If Net Worth > 0 → Green; if negative → Red with bold font.
• Late Payment Alerts: In the Liability Tracker, overdue payments are highlighted in red using a formula based on due date vs. today's date.
• Growth Trends: Assets increasing by more than 10% year-over-year are flagged with green shading.
• Debt Warning Threshold: If total debt exceeds 50% of total assets, the cell turns yellow to indicate financial risk.
