Formulas Required

The template relies on a mix of built-in Excel functions to ensure accurate calculations and updates:

• SUMIFS(): Used in the Monthly Financial Summary to calculate total expenses by category.
• IF() & AND(): To determine if a task is overdue or if debt payment exceeds minimum required (e.g., "If remaining balance > 0, show 'Active'").
• TODAY(): Automatically populates due dates and calculates time remaining for tasks.
• ROUND(): Rounds monthly payments to two decimal places for precision in financial tracking.
• VLOOKUP(): Links task IDs to user names or categories for better filtering.

Conditional Formatting

This template uses conditional formatting to provide visual cues:

• Task Status Colors: Red = Overdue, Yellow = Due in 1-3 days, Green = Completed.
• Debt Remaining Balance Highlight: Red if balance exceeds $5000; green if below $2000.
• Prioritized Tasks: High-priority tasks are bolded and shaded in orange for immediate visibility.
• Savings Status Indicator: A green background appears when monthly net savings exceed $150; otherwise, it turns yellow or red.
