Essential Formulas for Automation
- Monthly Net Cash Flow:
=SUMIFS(CashFlowTracker!E:E, CashFlowTracker!A:A, ">= "&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()), 1), CashFlowTracker!A:A, "<= "&EOMONTH(TODAY(), 0)) - Monthly Income:
=SUMIFS(CashFlowTracker!E:E, CashFlowTracker!B:B, "Income", CashFlowTracker!A:A, ">= "&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()), 1), CashFlowTracker!A:A, "<= "&EOMONTH(TODAY(), 0)) - Monthly Expenses:
=SUMIFS(CashFlowTracker!E:E, CashFlowTracker!B:B, "Expense", CashFlowTracker!A:A, ">= "&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()), 1), CashFlowTracker!A:A, "<= "&EOMONTH(TODAY(), 0)) - Remaining Balance (Monthly):
=[Monthly Income] + [Monthly Expenses] - Savings Progress (%):
=IF([Target Amount]=0, 0, [Current Savings]/[Target Amount]) - Daily Average Spending:
=[Total Monthly Expenses] / DAY(EOMONTH(TODAY(), 0))
Conditional Formatting for Visual Clarity
Smart visual cues help users interpret data quickly:
- Negative Expenses: Highlighted in red font and light pink background to stand out.
- Budget Overruns: If a category exceeds its monthly budget (set in a separate input cell), the row turns orange.
- Savings Goal Progress: Color scales from green (0%) to dark green (100%) using data bars for visual progress.
- Due Soon Bills: Any expense with "Status" = "Pending" and due date within 7 days is highlighted in yellow.
