FORMULAS REQUIRED

The template relies on several essential Excel functions to ensure accurate and dynamic calculations:

• =SUMIFS(): Aggregates revenue or expenses across departments for period-based analysis.
• =IF() + VLOOKUP(): Validates input data by checking against defined cost categories.
• =GROSS_PROFIT = REVENUE - COGS: Automatically calculated in the summary row.
• =NET_INCOME_BEFORE_TAX = GROSS_PROFIT - OPERATING_EXPENSES - DEPRECIATION: Applied across all rows.
• =NET_INCOME_AFTER_TAX = NET_INCOME_BEFORE_TAX * (1 - TAX_RATE): Final calculated value with dynamic tax application.
• =ROUND(): Used to format numbers to two decimal places for financial consistency.

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING

To enhance visibility and decision-making, the template includes conditional formatting rules:

• Red fill if Net Income Before Tax < 0: Highlights negative profitability for urgent review.
• Green fill if Gross Profit Margin > 30%: Indicates healthy revenue control.
