Table Structures & Columns

Invoice Records Table (Sheet: Invoice Records)

This table is structured with a defined range and uses Excel’s Table feature (Ctrl+T) for dynamic filtering, sorting, and formula referencing. | Column Name | Data Type | Description | |--------------|-----------|------------| | Invoice ID | Text/Number | Unique identifier for each invoice (e.g., INV-2024-001) | | Date Issued | Date | The date the invoice was created or issued | | Due Date | Date | Expected payment deadline for the invoice | | Customer Name | Text | Full name or business entity of the client | | Product/Service ID | Text/Number (Dropdown) | Links to products in Data Validation sheet | | Description | Text (Long) | Detailed description of goods/services provided | | Quantity Sold | Number (Integer, ≥0) | Units sold per invoice line item | | Unit Price (USD) | Currency ($, 2 decimals) | Price per unit at time of sale | | Total Amount (USD) | Currency ($, 2 decimals) | = Quantity × Unit Price | | Payment Status | Text (Dropdown: Paid, Pending, Overdue) | Tracks current invoice lifecycle status | | Forecast Flag | Checkbox (True/False) | Indicates if this record is included in forecasting model |

Forecast Model Table (Sheet: Forecast Model)

This table generates monthly and quarterly sales forecasts based on historical data. | Column Name | Data Type | Formula / Description | |--------------|-----------|------------------------| | Month-Year | Date (Month) | Sequential dates starting from current month | | Historical Revenue (Actual) | Currency ($, 2 decimals) | SUMIFS of Total Amount where Date Issued is in same month | | Forecasted Revenue (Base Model) | Currency ($, 2 decimals) | = Previous Month's Forecast × (1 + Monthly Growth Rate Assumption) | | Seasonal Adjustment Factor | Number (Decimal) | Based on historical seasonal patterns from Product Breakdown sheet | | Adjusted Forecast Revenue | Currency ($, 2 decimals) | = Base Model × Seasonal Adjustment Factor | | Variance to Actual (%) | Percentage (%) | = ((Actual - Forecast) / Actual) × 100 |

Required Formulas

=SUMIFS(InvoiceRecords[Total Amount (USD)], InvoiceRecords[Date Issued], ">= "&EOMONTH(A2,-1)+1, InvoiceRecords[Date Issued], "<= "&EOMONTH(A2,0)) – Calculates monthly actual revenue.
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(ProductID, ProductsTable, 3, FALSE), 0) – Retrieves unit price from lookup table.
=SUM(InvoiceRecords[Total Amount (USD)]) – Totals all invoice amounts for summary dashboard.
=FORECAST.LINEAR(Month-Year, HistoricalRevenue, TimePeriods) – Uses built-in Excel function to project forward trends.
=ROUND(AdjustedForecastRevenue, 2) – Ensures all financial figures display exactly two decimal places.

Conditional Formatting

- **Payment Status Column**: Red background for “Overdue”, yellow for “Pending”, green for “Paid”. - **Forecast Variance**: - >10% variance → Red text - Between -5% and +5% → Green text - < -10% variance → Blue text (indicates underperformance) - **Total Amount Column**: Right-align numbers with currency format; negative values in red. - **Summary Dashboard KPIs**: Traffic light indicators for forecast accuracy (Red/Yellow/Green).
