Calculated Columns in Invoice Tracker

Outstanding Amount: This is calculated as Invoice Amount – Paid Amount

Status: There are five possible values for Status.

  • ‘ERROR”, when at least one of the fields Invoice Amount, Invoice Date, Due Date is left blank. Also, when Due Date < Invoice Date.
  • PAID IN FULL: Outstanding Amount is 0
  • CURRENT: If Outstanding Amount >0 and Due Date > Today (not due yet)
  • DUE TODAY: If Outstanding Amount > 0 and Due Date = Today
  • PAST DUE: If Outstanding Amount is 0 and Due Date = Today
  • OVERPAID: If Outstanding Amount < 0 (i.e., Paid Amount is > Invoice Amount)

Note: Error rows are not used in calculation of metrics. 

Rows with errors will be highlighted with a red border for your assistance.

Error Validations – Invoice Tracker – Missing Due Date

Past Due Age: If the Status is ‘Past Due’, then this represents the aging bucket (1 – 30 Days, 31 – 60 Days, 61 – 90 Days, 91+ Days). Otherwise, it will be blank.

Selected: This will display 1 if the record (or row) is not filtered by the slicers.

View Dashboard

The top of the Invoices sheet will present the summary in a dashboard as shown below. This will update instantly as you add more invoices to the table.

Invoice Tracker Template – Summary Metrics – Dashboard View

Let’s break it down in 3 sections.

Current Invoices:

Number of current (Due Date is in the future) invoices will be shown along with outstanding amount due.

Invoice Tracker Spreadsheet – Current Invoices and Invoice Amount

Past Due Invoices:

Past Due Invoices and A/R Aging Report

Number of Past due (Due Date is in the Past ) invoices will be shown along with outstanding amount due.  Accounts Receivable (A/R) aging breakdown is also provided.

Expecting Payments:

Expecting Payments in Next 7 and Next 30 days

Payments that are expected in the next 7 days (including today) and next 30 days (including today) will be displayed.

Slicers (Filters)

These metrics can be easily filtered using the 3 Slicers provided.

Slicers allow filtering of Table and calculated metrics

The invoice table will be filtered as well. One can use this feature to easily target selective invoices. For example, click on Status = Past Due, to see only invoices that are past due.

How to track partial payments from customers?

Sometimes your customer may make an invoice payment in installments.  For example, a customer pays $300 invoice in 2 payments $100 and $200. Or a customer makes a payment for two invoices together. Please watch this video tutorial below that explains how to address these scenarios.

How to calculate Due Dates automatically? 

By default the template allows manual entry of due dates. If, in your small business, there is a standard term used such as Net 30 or Net 45, then we can automate this calculation. To create Due Date always as (Invoice Date + 30), just type =[@[INVOICE DATE]]+30 in cell D15.

  • This template is so helpful, thank you.
    I’m having trouble with the status and past due age. The invoice date is correct and the due date is when the customer paid, which happened to be two months later and it says error under status. Why does it say error and how can I change it to be outstanding or late payment? Please help.

  • Thanks a lot for the sheet. Meanwhile I added a column between PAID AMOUNT and OUTSTANDING AMOUNT. I dont seem to have any problem so far. Do you think there is going to be a problem in future?

    • Thanks for using our template.

      You may add a column. However, what matters most is how columns are linked to each other. In case you are using it to calculate, you need to make sure that the links are updated.

  • ITS REALLY GREAT!

    BUT THERE IS FEW THINGS TO BE FIXED,

    1) Please mention how to create “status, past over due, and customer in upper green portion?
    2) THERE IS ONE MORE THING WHEN WE APPLY PIVOT TABLE EVERY THING WORK PROPERLY BUT WHEN WE WANT TO CHECK THE PAID AMOUNT, IT SHOWS NUMBER OF PAID INVOICES INSTEAD OF PAID AMOUNT,

    REGARDS,

    ZAHID SULTAN

    • Thanks for your feedback.
      1. The STATUS column has the formula that calculates the Status value. The formula can be modified to change the values.
      Similarly PAST DUE AGE column has the formula that calculates PAST DUE AGING buckets.
      Then, we just type the Past Due Aging values in cells E5 to E8. If you modify the values in the formula, then values in the top green area should also be modified.
      2. if you have created a pivot table, then please make sure that the measure is SUM Of Paid Amount and not COUNT of Paid Amount.
      Best wishes.
