Formulas Required
The template includes dynamic formulas to calculate totals, forecasts, and statuses:- Weighted Forecast Total (Dashboard): =SUMPRODUCT('Sales Forecast'!E:E,'Sales Forecast'!F:F)/100 — Calculates the weighted sum of forecasted sales based on probability.
- Bills Due This Month (Dashboard): =COUNTIFS('Bills Tracker'!A:A, ">= "&EOMONTH(TODAY(),-1)+1, 'Bills Tracker'!A:A, "<= "&EOMONTH(TODAY(),0)) — Counts bills due in the current month.
- Overdue Bills (Dashboard): =COUNTIFS('Bills Tracker'!A:A, "<"&TODAY(),'Bills Tracker'!F:F, "Overdue") — Identifies unpaid bills past their due date.
- Total Monthly Expenses (Monthly Summary): =SUMIF('Bills Tracker'!A:A, ">="&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),1), 'Bills Tracker'!A:A, "<"&EOMONTH(TODAY(),0)+1) — Sums all bills in the current month.
- Actual vs Forecast Comparison: Uses VLOOKUP and SUMIFS to compare actual sales (manually entered or pulled from a separate file) against forecasted values.
Conditional Formatting
Enhances visual clarity and helps identify critical information:- Bills Due Today/Overdue: Red fill for bills with due date < TODAY() and status ≠ "Paid".
- High-Value Bills (> £100): Yellow highlight for large expenses.
- Sales Forecast Status: Color-coded cells based on status (e.g., green for "Won", red for "Lost").
- Budget Alerts: Conditional formatting on monthly summary to flag if total expenses exceed a predefined budget threshold.
