Columns and Data Types

Formulas Required

This template uses simple yet effective Excel formulas to ensure accuracy and automation:

• Subtotal Calculations: In the “Revenue” section, use =SUMIF(A:A,"Revenue*",C:C) to total all items categorized under revenue.
• Gross Profit: =Total Revenue – Total Cost of Services (calculated using SUM functions).
• Operating Income: =Gross Profit – Total Operating Expenses.
• Net Profit: =Operating Income + Any Adjustments (e.g., interest, non-recurring income).
• Percentage of Total: In column D, use formula =C2/$C$10 to calculate % share of each item relative to total revenue.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance readability and highlight key financial trends:

• Net Profit (Final Row): Highlighted in green if positive, red if negative using a formula: =C10>0.
• High Expenses: Apply data bars to column C for items over $500 to visually identify large costs.
• Percentage Columns: Use color scales (blue-to-red gradient) to show proportion of total revenue, helping users quickly spot outliers.
