Formulas Required

The template uses advanced Excel formulas for automation and accuracy:

• Due Date Formula: =IF([@Status]="Draft", "", [@[Date Issued]] + VLOOKUP([@Type], PaymentTermsTable, 2, FALSE))
• Subtotal & Tax Calculations: =[@Quantity] * [@Price]
• Total Amount: =[@Subtotal] + [@Tax Amount]
• Status Logic (Conditional): IF([@Payment Date] <> "", "Paid", IF(TODAY() > [@[Due Date]], "Overdue", "Sent"))
• Monthly Revenue Summary: =SUMIFS([Total Amount], [Date Issued], ">="&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY())-1, 1), [Date Issued], "<="&EOMONTH(TODAY(), -1))

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity and rapid issue detection:

• Overdue Invoices: Red background with white text for any invoice where Due Date is earlier than today and Status ≠ Paid.
• Paid Invoices: Green highlight to indicate successful payments.
• Highest Value Invoices: Data bars (gradient fill) on the Total Amount column to identify top performers.
• Status Column: Color-coded cells: Blue (Draft), Yellow (Sent), Green (Paid), Red (Overdue).
