TABLE STRUCTURE & COLUMNS (Employee Financial Data Sheet)

FUNDAMENTAL FORMULAS REQUIRED

• Tenure (Years): =ROUND((TODAY()-Start_Date)/365, 1)
• Total CTC: =Base_Salary + Bonus + Benefits_Cost
• Average Performance by Department: In the Executive Summary sheet, use =AVERAGEIF(Department_Column, "IT", Performance_Rating_Column)
• Departmental Total CTC: Use =SUMIF(Department_Column, "Sales", Total_CTC_Column) to aggregate costs per department.
• Budget Variance: In the "Departmental Budgets & Actuals" sheet: =Actual_Spent - Budgeted_Amount. Positive values indicate overage; negative means under budget.
• Cost Per Performance Point (CPP): =Total_CTC / Performance_Rating – Useful for identifying high-cost, low-impact employees.

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING RULES (FOR VISUAL CLARITY)

• High CTC (> $150k): Red fill with white text – indicates top earners.
• Low Performance (< 3.0): Orange background – signals potential performance issues.
• Budget Variance:
  • Positive variance (over budget): Red font, bold
  • Negative variance (under budget): Green font, bold
• Performance Rating > 4.5: Gold highlight – high performers.
