Table Structures & Columns (Daily Budget Tracker)
The primary sheet, "Daily Budget Tracker," is structured as a chronological log of daily budget activity per client. Each row represents a single day’s data for one client project.
| Column | Header | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Date (Daily) | Date (DD/MM/YYYY) | Actual date of the transaction or activity. Must be filled in sequentially for each day. |
| B | Client Name | Text (Dropdown from Client Overview) | Selected from a predefined list in the "Client Overview" sheet to ensure consistency. |
| C | Project/Service Line | Text | Description of specific project or service being billed (e.g., Digital Marketing, Web Development). |
| D | Budget Allocation (Daily) | Number (Currency, $0.00) | Predefined daily budget limit for this client/project. |
| E | Actual Spend (Daily) | Number (Currency, $0.00) | Amount actually spent or billed on this date. |
| F | Variance (Daily) | Formula: =E2-D2 | Difference between actual spend and budgeted amount. Positive value = over budget; negative = under budget. |
| G | Status Indicator | Text (Automated) | Displays "Within Budget", "Over Budget", or "On Track" based on conditional logic. |
| H | Budget Utilization (%) | Formula: =E2/D2*100 if D2 > 0, otherwise 0% | Percentage of daily budget used. Helps visualize spending intensity. |
Formulas Required

=E2-D2 - Status Indicator (Column G):
=IF(F2>0, "Over Budget", IF(F2<0, "Under Budget", "On Track")) - Budget Utilization (%) (Column H):
=IF(D2=0, 0%, E2/D2*100) - Weekly Budget Total (Dashboard):

=SUMIFS('Daily Budget Tracker'!D:D, 'Daily Budget Tracker'!B:B, ClientName) - SUMIFS('Daily Budget Tracker'!E:E, 'Daily Budget Tracker'!B:B, ClientName)
Conditional Formatting
Strategic formatting enhances visual clarity and alerts users to critical budget thresholds:
- Over Budget (Variance > 0): Fill color = Red; Font color = White.
- Under Budget (Variance < 0): Fill color = Light Green; Font color = Dark Green.
- Budget Utilization > 100%: Highlight cells in Column H with red fill if utilization exceeds 100%.
- Future Dates: Cells in Date column (A) for dates beyond current week are shaded light gray to indicate non-actual entries.
