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
Teachers, club organizers and team leads all need the same thing from an attendance sheet: quick marks for each session and a clear view of who is slipping. We lay out an attendance tracker in Excel or Google Sheets with dropdown marks (present, late, absent, excused), formulas for attendance rates per person and per month, and colour rules that highlight anyone below your threshold. The Premium version adds a summary sheet across several groups.
What is included
- What you getFormulas, the tracker layout (columns, headers and sample rows as CSV text), dropdown and colour rule settings and setup steps; in Premium also a summary sheet across groups. Everything comes as text on the order page; we do not send a ready spreadsheet file.
- Dropdown marksPresent, late, absent, excused
- Attendance ratesPer person, per month, per term
- Threshold alertsColour for anyone below your limit
- Session datesColumns set up for your schedule
- Group summaryIn Premium: all groups on one sheet
How it works
- 1BriefYou describe groups and marks
- 2TrackerWe write layout, rules and formulas
- 3FixesIf something fails on your data, we fix it within your package
What we need from you
Who you track (a class, club or staff), how many groups and people, how often sessions run, the marks you use and Excel or Google Sheets.
We will ask you:
- Who will you track?
- How many groups and how many people in each?
- Which marks do you use?
- Below what attendance rate should someone be flagged?

Questions and answers
Can students or staff mark themselves?
Yes, in Google Sheets you can pair the tracker with a Google Form; we include the steps from Standard.
Can it count excused absences differently?
Yes, tell us whether excused absences count against the rate, and the formulas follow that rule.
Is it suitable for school records?
It is a working tracker. If your school requires an official register, keep that too and use this for daily tracking.
