Formulas Required

The template leverages advanced Excel formulas to ensure data integrity and automatic calculations:

• =SUMIFS(): Calculates total payroll expenses by department from the "Employee Master List".
• =COUNTIFS(): Counts employees by status or department for real-time headcount reports.
• =VLOOKUP()/XLOOKUP(): Cross-references employee data between sheets (e.g., pulling salary info into the balance sheet).
• =IF(AND()): Validates data entry (e.g., if an employee is "Terminated", their status field must reflect that, and future pay periods should not include them).
• =ROUND(AVERAGE(...),2): Computes average salary by department with two decimal precision.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual management of employee data:

• Employees whose annual salary exceeds the department average are highlighted in orange.
• Terminated employees are marked with red text and a strikethrough font.
• Positions with more than 3 employees receive green background; those below 1.5 average get yellow highlighting for recruitment alerts.
• In the Balance Sheet Overview, values exceeding budget thresholds turn red; favorable variances appear in green.
