Spreadsheet template: invoice tracker for a small agency
Sheet layout — tab "Invoices"
| Column | Header | Filled by |
|---|---|---|
| A | Invoice # | You |
| B | Client | You (drop-down from tab "Clients") |
| C | Issue date | You |
| D | Amount | You |
| E | Payment terms (days) | Formula |
| F | Due date | Formula |
| G | Paid on | You (leave empty until paid) |
| H | Status | Formula |
| I | Days overdue | Formula |
Formulas (excerpt, 6 of 10)
E2 — payment terms from the client list
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B2, Clients!A:C, 3, FALSE), 30)
Looks up the client's terms in the "Clients" tab; if the client isn't there, uses 30 days.
F2 — due date
=IF(C2="", "", C2 + E2)
Adds the terms to the issue date. Stays empty for blank rows.
H2 — status
=IF(C2="", "", IF(G2<>"", "Paid", IF(TODAY()>F2, "Overdue", "Open")))
Paid if a payment date is entered; otherwise Overdue after the due date, else Open.
I2 — days overdue
=IF(H2="Overdue", TODAY() - F2, "")
Dashboard!B2 — total outstanding
=SUMIFS(Invoices!D:D, Invoices!H:H, "<>Paid", Invoices!C:C, "<>")
Dashboard!A5 — balance by client (one formula fills the table)
=QUERY(Invoices!B:H, "select B, sum(D) where H <> 'Paid' and B is not null group by B order by sum(D) desc label sum(D) 'Owed'", 1)
Where to paste
- Put E2, F2, H2 and I2 in row 2 of "Invoices", then drag down to row 500
- Paste the two Dashboard formulas once; they update by themselves
- Conditional formatting on H2:H500: text is "Overdue" → light red fill
Edge cases handled
- Partly paid invoice: add a row with the remaining amount and a new number like INV-041b
- Client renamed: change it only in "Clients"; the drop-down keeps rows consistent
- Excel instead of Sheets: all formulas work except QUERY; use a PivotTable on columns B, D, H instead
Check example
Invoice INV-038, client Northside Dental, issued Sep 1, terms 14 days → due Sep 15. Today Oct 20, not paid → Overdue, 35 days.
Client: a 4-person video production studio. Tool: Google Sheets. Task: "We lose track of who has paid. We need one sheet that shows overdue invoices and how much each client owes."
The client and all details are made up.
About this service
Access error messages rarely say what is wrong: 'Data type mismatch in criteria expression', 'Enter Parameter Value' on a field that exists, 'Type mismatch' in VBA or a query that suddenly returns duplicates. Paste the SQL of the query or the VBA procedure, the exact error message and a screenshot of where it appears, and we find the cause and send the corrected SQL or code. Each fix comes with a short explanation, so the same error does not come back in the next query.
What is included
- What you getThe corrected SQL or VBA as text on the order page, with the cause of each error in plain words and where to paste the fix. From Standard, also error handling added to the procedures we fix.
- Cause foundWhy the error happens, in plain words
- Corrected SQL or VBAReady to paste
- Where to pasteThe exact query or module
- Error handlingFrom Standard: clear messages for users
- Prevention noteWhat to watch in future queries
How it works
- 1ErrorYou paste the code and the message
- 2DiagnosisWe trace the cause and fix it
- 3DeliveryYou get the fix and explanation
What we need from you
The SQL of the query (from SQL view) or the VBA code pasted as text, the exact error message and number, a screenshot of where it appears, the table design of the fields involved and your Access version.
We will ask you:
- What is the exact error message and number?
- When does it appear?
- What changed before it started?
- Which Access version do you use?

Questions and answers
Can I send my .accdb file?
No, database files cannot be opened here. Send screenshots of the table design and relationships window, or export tables or queries to Excel and attach them (hide personal data first).
What if the error is caused by corrupted data or a damaged file?
We explain how to recognise that case and the usual steps, such as compact and repair or importing objects into a new file, for you to run yourself.
What if the fix does not work on my data?
Tell us the new message and what you see, and we adjust the fix within your revisions.
