Formulas Required

The template relies on several key formulas to automate calculations and logic:

=IF(E3="", "Pending", IF(D3="", "Pending", IF(D3: Automatically assigns status based on due date.


    =SUMIFS(C:C, D:D, "App Development Phase 3"): Calculates total amount for a specific project.
    =SUMIF(F:F, "Paid", F:F): Totals all paid bills daily or per project.
    =TODAY(): Used in date formatting and due-date comparisons.
    =VLOOKUP(A2, ProjectList!A:B, 2, FALSE): Links bill to project name using a lookup table.
    Auto-Number Formula for Bill ID:
        =IF(B3="","", "BIL-"&TEXT(ROW()-1,"0000"))
        Generates unique identifiers starting from the first entry.



Conditional Formatting Rules
The template uses conditional formatting to highlight critical data:

    Overdue Bills: Cells where "Due Date" is less than today → highlighted in red with bold font.
    Paid Status: Green background for "Paid", yellow for "Pending", red for "Overdue".
    High Amounts (>1000 USD): Any amount exceeding $1,000 is highlighted in orange.
    Category-Based Color Coding: Different colors assigned per category (e.g., blue for labor, green for travel).
    Missing Data: Empty description or vendor fields are flagged with yellow warning borders.


User Instructions
