- Conditional Formatting: Highlight the "Status" column to automatically turn red if "Overdue" and green if "Paid."
- Date Formulas: Use
=DATEDIF(H2, TODAY(), "d")in a new column to calculate how many days an invoice has been overdue. - Data Validation: Set the "Status" column to a Dropdown list (Data > Data Validation > List) with the following values:
Draft, Sent, Pending, Paid, Overdue. - Auto-Sum: Keep a "Total Billed" sum at the very top of your sheet using
=SUM(G:G)so you can see your total revenue at a glance.
