Formulas Required

This template uses advanced Excel formulas to automate KPI calculations and data integrity checks. Key formulas include:

• =IF(AND([@Status]="Paid", [@Due Date] >= [@Payment Date]), "On Time", "Late") – Determines if payment was made on or before due date.
• =DATEDIF([@Date Received], [@Approval Date], "D") – Calculates average days to approve invoices (used in KPIs).
• =COUNTIFS([Payment Status], "Paid", [Days to Pay], "<="&30)/COUNTIF([Payment Status], "Paid") – Calculates the % of invoices paid within 30 days.
• =SUMIFS([Amount ($)], [Invoice Type], "Recurring") – Aggregates recurring invoice spend by category.
• =AVERAGEIF([Payment Status], "Paid", [Days to Pay]) – Average payment duration for closed invoices.
