- Date: Format as date to ensure sorting and filtering capabilities. - Category: Use data validation with a dropdown list of predefined office-related categories for consistency. - Description: Free-text field for additional context (e.g., “Payment from Client X”). - Amount In / Out: Currency format with two decimal places. Positive values only; negative values are not allowed to prevent errors. - Balance: Formula-based column that calculates the cumulative balance.Formulas Required
1. **Balance Column (Column F):** ```excel =IF(ROW()=2, D2-E2, F1+D2-E2) ``` This formula ensures the first row starts with a net of In-Out and subsequent rows accumulate the balance. 2. **Net Cash Flow (Monthly Summary Sheet - Cell B4):** ```excel =SUMIF(CashFlowTracker!B:B, "Income", CashFlowTracker!D:D) - SUMIF(CashFlowTracker!B:B, "Expense", CashFlowTracker!E:E) ``` 3. **Total Income and Total Expense (Monthly Summary Sheet):** ```excel Total Income: =SUMIFS(CashFlowTracker!D:D, CashFlowTracker!B:B, "Income") Total Expense: =SUMIFS(CashFlowTracker!E:E, CashFlowTracker!B:B, "Expense") ``` 4. **Cash Flow Trend (Dashboards Sheet):** Use `=FORECAST.LINEAR()` or a simple chart to project future cash flow based on past trends.Conditional Formatting
- Negative Balance: Highlight any row where the balance becomes negative in red using: ```excel =F2<0 ``` - High Expense Categories: Apply data bars to expense amounts (E column) to visually identify large expenditures. - Budget Alerts: If expenses exceed a set threshold (e.g., £1,000), use conditional formatting with a custom formula: ```excel =AND(B2="Expense", E2>1000) ```User Instructions
