=SUMIFS(Data_Entry[Amount $], Data_Entry[Status], "Pending") + SUMIFS(Data_Entry[Amount $], Data_Entry[Status], "Overdue")
// Aging Bucket Calculation (e.g., 0–30 days)
=IF(TODAY() - DueDate < 31, IF(Status<>"Paid", "0-30 Days", ""), "")
// Overdue Status Indicator
=IF(AND(DueDate<TODAY(), Status<>"Paid"), "Overdue", IF(Status="Paid", "Paid", "Pending"))
// Days Past Due (for aging report)
=IF(AND(Status<>"Paid", DueDate < TODAY()), TODAY() - DueDate, 0)
// Payment Delay Ratio (Advanced KPI)
=ROUND(AVERAGEIFS(Data_Entry[Days Past Due], Data_Entry[Status], "Overdue"), 1) & " days"
