Table Structures & Columns

The main data table in the "Bill Tracker Main" sheet is structured as a relational table with the following columns:

Data Types & Validation Rules

• Bill ID: Text, formatted as a unique alphanumeric code (e.g., #B00123). Uses data validation to prevent duplicates.

• Project Name / Team Member: Text fields with lookup capabilities from linked tables for accuracy and efficiency.
• All text fields are limited to 50 characters to prevent clutter and improve readability in print formats.

Formulas Required

The template uses several essential formulas to maintain data integrity and support analysis:

• SUMIF(): Calculates total expenses by project, team, or status (e.g., =SUMIF(ProjectName,"DevOps",Amount)).
• IF() & VLOOKUP(): Automatically flags overdue bills using: =IF(DueDate
• COUNTIFS(): Counts the number of pending or unpaid invoices per team member.
• ROUND() & TEXT(): Formats amounts to two decimal places and displays currency with symbols (e.g., $99.95).
• CONCATENATE() / &: Combines fields for notes or status messages (e.g., "Paid on " & PaymentDate).

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Status Column (Red): Overdue entries are highlighted in red with a warning border.
• Due Date Highlighting: Cells showing due dates within the next 3 days are shaded yellow.
