Table Structures and Columns

The primary table on the "Cash Flow Statement (Monthly)" sheet is structured as follows:

Formulas Required

• Net Cash Flow Calculation: =SUMIF(Type, "Inflow", Amount) - SUMIF(Type, "Outflow", Amount) — Computed at the bottom of each month's section.
• Cumulative Cash Balance: Uses a running total formula to maintain balance from the start of the fiscal year. =IF(ROW()-ROW($A$2)=1, [First Inflow/Outflow], OFFSET(CashBalance, -1, 0) + Amount)
• Forecasted Cash Flow: =VLOOKUP(MonthName, ForecastTable, 2, FALSE) — Pulls pre-set budget values for variance reporting.
• Variances (Actual vs. Budget): =ActualAmount - BudgetedAmount, displayed in red if negative and green if positive via conditional formatting.
• Total by Category/Department: Uses SUMIFS across multiple dimensions: =SUMIFS(Amount, Category, "Rent", Department/Location, "Head Office")

Conditional Formatting

To support large business financial oversight:

• Overdue Payments (Status = “Overdue”): Red fill with white bold text.
• Pending Payments (>7 days overdue): Amber background.
