Sheet Names

The template consists of three primary sheets:

• Savings Transactions: Detailed log of all savings activities per employee, including contributions, bonuses, or employer matches.
• Dashboard & Reports: Interactive visualizations and summary statistics for management review and decision-making.

Table Structures and Columns

Sheet 1: Employee Data

This sheet serves as the master database for all employees participating in the savings program. It maintains key employee attributes essential for both HR management and savings tracking.

This sheet logs every savings-related activity, ensuring traceability and audit readiness. It supports both individual and bulk transaction entries.

Sheet 3: Dashboard & Reports

Formulas Required (Data Version)

The template leverages advanced Excel formulas to ensure automatic data integrity and real-time updates:

• Current Savings Balance (Employee Data sheet):
  =SUMIFS('Savings Transactions'!$D$2:$D$1000, 'Savings Transactions'!$B$2:$B$1000, A2)
  This formula aggregates all transaction amounts linked to a specific Employee ID.
• Completion Percentage:
  =IF([@Savings Goal] > 0, [@Current Savings Balance]/[@Savings Goal], 0)
  Displays progress toward the annual savings goal as a percentage.
• Last Updated (Auto-fill):
  =TODAY() in a helper column to record when data was last modified.
• Transaction ID Generator:
  ="TXN-"&TEXT(COUNTA($B$2:B2)+1,"0000")
  Creates sequential IDs starting from TXN-0001.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance data visualization and user awareness, the following rules are applied:

• Overdue Transactions: Highlight rows in red if status is "Pending" and date is > 7 days old.
• Savings Progress Bar: Use data bars in the "Current Savings Balance" column to show relative progress toward the goal.
• Achievement Thresholds: Color-code completion percentage: green if ≥ 90%, yellow if 75–89%, red below 75%.
• Departmental Alerts: If average department savings drop below target, the department row turns amber in the dashboard.
