Formulas Required

The template incorporates a range of formulas to automate calculations and enhance KPI monitoring:

Bill ID Generation:
=CONCATENATE("BIL-", YEAR(TODAY()), "-", TEXT(ROW()-1, "000"))
(This formula generates unique Bill IDs based on the current year and row number.)
Total Amount:
=IF([@Billed Amount]>0, [@Billed Amount] + [@Tax Amount], 0)
Status Update:
=IF(ISBLANK([@Paid Date]), IF(TODAY() > [@Due Date], "Overdue", "Pending"), "Paid")
Days to Pay:
=IF(ISBLANK([@Paid Date]), "", [@Paid Date] - [@Due Date])

Conditional Formatting for KPI Visibility

To enhance readability and KPI awareness, the template applies dynamic conditional formatting:

Overdue Bills: Red fill with white text on the "Status" column.
Early Payments (Negative Days to Pay): Green highlight in "Days to Pay".
Budget Thresholds: Yellow background if Total Amount exceeds 80% of a category budget.
