Data Types and Input Validation
All data entry fields are defined with strict data types:
- Column "Period 1 – Period 4": Number (Currency), formatted with thousands separators and two decimal places.
- "Description" column: Text, with a dropdown list of predefined line items for consistency.
- "Category" column: Text, restricted to "Operating Activities", "Investing Activities", or "Financing Activities".
- All formulas use absolute and relative references appropriately to ensure accurate calculations across multiple pages and periods.
Essential Formulas for Automation
The template leverages several key formulas:
=SUM(C5:C7): To calculate subtotal for operating activities.=C6 + C23: For calculating the ending cash balance (beginning + net change).IF(AND(C23<0, ISNUMBER(C17)), "Negative", IF(C23>0, "Positive", "")): To flag negative or positive net changes.=TEXT(NOW(), "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm"): Embedded in audit log to timestamp entries.
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance readability and highlight critical values:
- Positive cash flows in green background; negative flows in red.
- If any line item is greater than 10% of total operating cash flow, it is highlighted with a yellow border.
- Cells containing data from previous periods are dimmed gray to indicate historical status.
