Formulas Required

Counts active employees per department.
Budget vs Actual Variance:
=IF(ISERROR('Budget vs Actuals'!E2-F2), "", F2-E2)
Calculates variance between planned and actual spending.

Conditional Formatting

High Cost Employees: Highlight rows in "Payroll & Compensation" with Total Annual Compensation > $150,000 using red fill.
Budget Overrun: In "Budget vs Actuals", use red text and bold for negative variances; green for positive.
Departmental Performance: Color scale (red to green) based on cost per headcount ratio (e.g., higher than average = red).
