    Days Until Due (Column I): =IF([@Due Date]="", "", [@Due Date]-TODAY())
    Monthly Total by Category (Dashboard): Uses SUMIFS to aggregate bill amounts by month and category.
    Upcoming Payments Filter (Dashboard): Uses FILTER function (Excel 365) or advanced formulas with INDEX/MATCH for dynamic listing.



Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity and highlight critical actions, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

    Overdue Bills: Red fill with white text for any row where Payment Status = Overdue.
    Due Within 3 Days: Orange fill for due dates within the next 3 days.
    Payments Made Today: Green highlight for any row with a Payment Date matching TODAY().
    Budget Threshold Alerts: If Bill Amount exceeds £100, apply yellow highlight to draw attention.
    Conditional formatting is applied dynamically across the entire table range.
