Formulas Required

The following formulas are implemented across the Bill Tracker and Summary Dashboard sheets:

• Status Column:
  =IF([@Payment Date]="", IF(TODAY()>[@Due Date], "Overdue", "Pending"), "Paid")
  This formula evaluates whether a bill is pending, overdue, or paid based on current dates.
• Days Late:
  =IF([@Status]="Overdue", [@Payment Date]-[@Due Date], 0)
  Only applies if the payment was late; otherwise shows zero.
• KPI: On-Time Payment Rate:
  =COUNTIF(Status, "Paid") / COUNTA(Status) * 100
  Calculated in the Dashboard using filtered data from the Bill Tracker sheet.

Conditional Formatting Rules

Enhanced visual cues help users quickly identify critical information:

• Overdue Bills: Red fill with white text for any row where Status is “Overdue”.
• Pending Bills (Due in 7 Days): Orange highlight for entries where Due Date is within the next 7 days.
• Early Payments: Green background if Payment Date is before Due Date.
• High-Value Bills: Conditional formatting applied to Amount columns when value exceeds $5,000 (e.g., gold highlight).
