Formulas Required
The template uses simple but powerful Excel formulas to ensure real-time calculations and updates:
- SUMIFS()**: Calculates total income or expenses by category and date range (e.g., SUMIFS(‘Transaction Log’!Amount, ‘Transaction Log’!Type, "Income")).
- MONTH() & YEAR(): Extracts month/year for periodic summaries.
- =SUM(Total Income) - SUM(Total Expenses): Calculates net cash flow per period.
- =SUM(Cumulative Balance, Previous Period): Automatically updates running balance using the net cash flow.
- IF()** to highlight pending entries (e.g., IF(Status="Pending", "⚠️ Attention Required", "")).
Conditional Formatting
- Red Highlight for Negative Net Cash Flow: If net cash flow is below zero, the cell turns red.
- Green Highlight for Positive Balance: When cumulative balance exceeds $10,000, the row turns green.
- Pending Status Color Code: "Pending" entries are shown in yellow with bold text for visibility.
- Outlier Detection: Any transaction exceeding $1,000 is highlighted in orange to flag unusual spending.
