Sheet Structure & Organization
The workbook contains three main sheets:
- Study Organizer (Main Dashboard)
- Loan Calculator & Amortization Schedule
- Data Reference & Configuration
Sheet 1: Study Organizer (Main Dashboard)
This is the primary interface for users. It serves as a dynamic calendar and task management system.
| Column | Description | Data Type |
|---|---|---|
| A: Task ID | Unique identifier for each study task (e.g., STU-001, STU-002) | Text (Auto-incrementing with formula) |
| B: Task Title | Description of the academic task or study session | Text (Max 50 characters) |
| C: Category | Type of task (e.g., Exam Prep, Assignment, Research, Lecture Review) | Dropdown List (From Data Reference Sheet) |
| D: Due Date | Deadline for completion | Date (Validated with date picker) |
| E: Priority Level | High, Medium, Low (for task scheduling) | Dropdown List: High, Medium, Low |
| F: Status | Current progress (Not Started, In Progress, Completed) | Dropdown List |
| G: Estimated Hours Needed | Time required to complete the task (in hours) | Numerical (Decimal: 0.5 to 48.0) |
| H: Actual Time Spent | Hours logged after completion | Numerical (Editable only when Status = Completed) |
| I: Notes | Any additional information or resources used | Text (Max 200 characters) |
Formulas:
- A2 Formula: `=IF(B2<>"", "STU-" & TEXT(ROW()-1,"000"), "")` – Auto-generates task ID.
- D2 Validation: Data validation set to enforce valid date entry.
- J2 (Status Color Indicator): `=IF(D2-TODAY()<=3, "Due Soon", IF(D2
Conditional Formatting:
- If Due Date is within 3 days: Background color = Red with bold text
- If Status is "Overdue": Text color = Dark Red, background = Light Orange
- Priority Level "High": Bold font and yellow highlight
- Completed tasks: Strikethrough text and green background
Sheet 2: Loan Calculator & Amortization Schedule
This sheet is designed for financial planning related to student loans or office-provided educational funding.
| Column | Description | Data Type |
|---|---|---|
| A: Loan Amount (USD) | Total principal borrowed for study or office training expenses | Numerical (Positive number, min $100) |
| B: Interest Rate (%) | Annual interest rate as a percentage (e.g., 5.5) | Numerical (Validated: 0.1 to 25.0) |
| C: Loan Term (Years) | Number of years for repayment | Numerical (1 to 30) |
| D: Monthly Payment | Calculated using PMT function | Numerical, Formula: `=PMT(B2/12, C2*12, -A2)` |
| E: Total Interest Paid | Sum of all interest over the loan period | Numerical, Formula: `=(D2*C2*12)-A2` |
| F: Total Repayment Amount | Principal + Interest | Numerical, Formula: `=A2+E2` |
| Amortization Schedule Table (Starting at Row 8) | ||
| Row: Payment # | Sequential number of payment (1, 2, 3…) | Numerical (Auto-increment: =ROW()-8+1) |
| Payment Date | Date of monthly payment | Date (Formula: `=EDATE($F$2, ROW()-8)` where F2 is first payment date) |
| Principal Payment | Portion of payment to principal | Numerical, Formula: `=PPMT(B2/12, A8-7, C2*12, -A2)` |
| Interest Payment | Portion of payment to interest | Numerical, Formula: `=IPMT(B2/12, A8-7, C2*12, -A2)` |
| Remaining Balance | Outstanding loan amount after payment | Numerical, Formula: `=IF(A8=7, A2-PMT(B2/12,C2*12,-A2)*PPMT(...))` (Recursive logic) |
Conditional Formatting:
- When Remaining Balance drops below 5% of original loan amount: Highlight in green.
- If Payment Date is within next 7 days: Mark with a yellow border and bold text.
- Highlight negative values (if any) in red.
