Required Formulas

The template uses a combination of lookup, logical, and aggregation functions to enhance functionality:

Due Date Calculation (Column C):
=IF(DATE(YEAR([@Date Issued]), MONTH([@Date Issued]), DAY([@Date Issued])) + 30 > TODAY(), "In Future", "Overdue")
(This evaluates whether the due date is in future or overdue based on a standard 30-day billing cycle.)
Auto-Billing Cycle Flag:
=IF(MONTH([@Date Issued])=MONTH(TODAY()), "Current Month", "Past")
(Used to filter bills by current or past months for reporting.)
Overdue Status Highlighting:
=IF(AND([@Due Date] (Adds a flag to identify overdue pending bills.)


    Total Monthly Spend by Category:

        Use SUMIFS in the Dashboard sheet to calculate totals per category, e.g.,

        =SUMIFS(BillTracker[Amount ($)], BillTracker[Category], "Utilities", BillTracker[Date Issued], ">= "&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),1), BillTracker[Date Issued], "<= "&EOMONTH(TODAY(),0))



Conditional Formatting Rules


    Overdue Bills: Highlight rows where [Due Date] < TODAY() AND [Payment Status] = "Pending" with red fill and bold text.
    Pending Payments: Yellow background for pending bills due in the next 7 days.
    Budget Exceeded: If actual spending > budget (from Expense Categories sheet), apply red border to that category’s row on Dashboard.
    Payment Status Color Coding: Green for “Paid”, Gray for “Overdue”, Blue for “Pending”.


User Instructions


    Monthly Setup: At the start of each month, copy the previous month’s Bill Tracker data (optional), then begin entering new bills on the Bill Tracker sheet.
    Data Entry: Enter all bill details. Use dropdowns to ensure consistency in Vendor and Category fields.
    Update Status: As payments are made, update “Payment Status” and enter the “Date Paid” and “Payment Method.”
    Review Dashboard: Open the Monthly Summary Dashboard to view spending trends, budget adherence, and overdue alerts.
    Audit & Archive: At month’s end, save a copy of the workbook as "Office_Bill_Tracker_Month_Year.xlsx" for records.
