• KPI Metrics: Numeric (with conditional formatting for thresholds)

Key Formulas Used

• =PMT(InterestRate/12, TermMonths, -LoanAmount) – Monthly payment calculation.
• =IPMT(Rate, Period, Nper, Pv) – Interest portion per period.
• =PPMT(Rate, Period, Nper, Pv) – Principal portion per period.
• =IF(InterestCoverageRatio <= 2.0,"High Risk", IF(InterestCoverageRatio <= 3.0,"Moderate", "Low Risk")) – Risk classification.
• =COUNTIFS(StatusRange, "Active")/COUNTA(StatusRange)*100 – % of active loans.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• LTV > 75%: Red fill with yellow text (alert threshold).
