Formulas Required

To ensure dynamic functionality and real-time updates across sheets:

Net Debt Owed (Sheet 2, Column J): =E2-F2-H2-I2
Variance (Sheet 1, Column D): =B2-C2
Remaining Balance (Sheet 3, Column E): =C2-D2
Total Student Debt (Dashboard): =SUM(Sheet2!J:J)
Total Allocated Funds: =SUM(Sheet3!D:D)
Summary of Students per Program (Dashboard): Use SUMIFS to count students by program from Sheet 2.

Conditional Formatting Rules

- **Over Budget Alerts:** If Net Debt Owed exceeds a pre-set threshold (e.g., $15,000), the cell turns red. - **Funding Status:** In "Institutional Funding Sources," if Remaining Balance is less than 10% of Available Budget, the background turns yellow; below 5%, it turns dark red. - **Team Log Highlights:** Actions labeled "Approved" appear in green; "Flagged" in orange. - **Dashboard Variance Status:** Positive variances (under budget) show in green; negative (over budget) appear in red.
