Required Formulas
The template uses a combination of Excel formulas to automate tracking and analysis:
- Auto-generated Bill ID:
=CONCATENATE("BIL-", YEAR(TODAY()), "-", TEXT(ROWS(BillsData)+1, "000")) - Days Until Due:
=IF([@Due Date]="", "", DATEDIF(TODAY(),[@Due Date],"d")) - Overdue Status Indicator:
=IF(AND([@Due Date] - Sum of Total Amounts by Category: Used in Summary Dashboard via SUMIFS:
=SUMIFS(BillsData[Amount (USD)], BillsData[Category], "Utilities") - Count of Overdue Bills:
=COUNTIF(BillsData[Overdue Status Indicator], "OVERDUE") - Percentage of Budget Used (by Category):
=SUMIFS(BillsData[Amount (USD)], BillsData[Category], [Category]) / [Budget Allocation]
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance readability and highlight critical information, the template applies these rules:
- Overdue Bills: Red background with white text for any row where “Days Until Due” is negative.
- Bills Due in 7 Days: Yellow highlight for entries where “Days Until Due” is ≤ 7.
- Bills Due in Next 30 Days: Light blue background for entries with “Days Until Due” between 8 and 30.
- High Spend by Category: If a category’s total exceeds its budget allocation, the cell turns red; if it’s under budget, green.
- Paid vs. Unpaid Status: “Paid” rows use a light green shade; “Not Paid” rows remain white or gray.
