Formulas Required for Dynamic Functionality

To maintain accuracy and interactivity, the following formulas are implemented across sheets:

• Total Employee Cost (Dashboard): =SUMIFS('Employee Compensation & Benefits'!$E:$E, 'Employee Compensation & Benefits'!$D:$D, "IT") + SUMPRODUCT((('Employee Compensation & Benefits'!$F:$F)*('Employee Compensation & Benefits'!$G:$G)), ('Employee Compensation & Benefits'!'Department="IT"))
• Net Family Income (Dashboard): =SUMIF('Family Income & Expenses'!$A:$A, "Income", 'Family Income & Expenses'!$C:$C) - SUMIF('Family Income & Expenses'!$A:$A, "Expenses", 'Family Income & Expenses'!$C:$C)
• Monthly Savings Rate (Dashboard): =SUM('Savings & Investment Tracker'!$C:$C) / (SUMIF('Family Income & Expenses'!$A:$A, "Income", 'Family Income & Expenses'!$C:$C))
• Over/Under Budget Indicator (Family Income Sheet): =IF(C2 > D2, "OVER", IF(C2 = D2, "ON TARGET", "UNDER"))
• Employee Count per Department: Uses COUNTIF to tally team sizes by department.

Conditional Formatting for Visual Clarity
