=SUMIFS(CashFlowTracker!E:E, CashFlowTracker!C:C, "Utilities", CashFlowTracker!B:B, ">=1/1/2024")compared to budget in Expense Categories sheet. - Team Contribution Summary:
=SUMIFS(CashFlowTracker!E:E, CashFlowTracker!F:F, "Sarah", CashFlowTracker!B:B, ">=1/1/2024") - Overdue Transactions Count:
=COUNTIFS(CashFlowTracker!H:H, "Overdue", CashFlowTracker!B:B, "<=" & TODAY()-7)
