| Investing Activities | Cash used for or received from investments: buying/selling equipment, stocks, home improvements. | SUMIFS where Category = "Investing Inflow", "Investing Outflow" |
| Financing Activities | Cash from loans, credit lines, or repayments; personal borrowing or repayment. | SUMIFS where Category = "Financing Inflow", "Financing Outflow" |
| Net Change in Cash | Total cash movement across all categories. | =SUM(Operating, Investing, Financing) |
| Cash at Beginning of Period | Manually entered or pulled from previous month's closing balance. | User input or linked formula from prior month’s Dashboard |
| Cash at End of Period | Final cash position after all inflows and outflows. | =Cash at Beginning + Net Change in Cash |
Formulas Required (Key Examples)
- Cash Flow by Category:
=SUMIFS('Data Input & History'!$D:$D, 'Data Input & History'!$C:$C, "Income", 'Data Input & History'!$B:$B, ">="&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY())-1,1), 'Data Input & History'!$B:$B, "<="&EOMONTH(TODAY(),-1))
This pulls monthly income from the history sheet. - Net Cash Flow:
=SUM(D6:D8)
Where D6-D8 are totals for Operating, Investing, and Financing sections. - Cash at End of Period:
=B13 + D9
