Formulas Required

The template leverages a suite of Excel formulas to automate calculations and reduce manual errors: - **Dynamic Week Ending**: `=DATE(YEAR(A2),MONTH(A2),DAY(A2)+7-WEEKDAY(A2,3))` (Auto-generates next Friday or desired weekly closure). - **Total Labor Cost**: `=IF([@PayType]="Hourly", [@Regular Hours]*[@Hourly Rate]+[@Overtime Hours]*[@Hourly Rate]*[@Overtime Multiplier], [@Salary Base])` - **Sum by Department**: `=SUMIFS([Total Labor Cost], [Department], "Marketing")` used in the Cost Allocation sheet. - **Budget vs. Actual Comparison**: `=IF([@Actual Spend] > [@Budgeted Amount], "Over", "On Track")` with conditional coloring.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity and highlight critical data points: - **Red Background** for any row where Total Labor Cost exceeds 105% of the budgeted amount. - **Yellow Highlight** if cost is within 95–105% of budget. - **Green Text**: For actual spend under 90% of budget, indicating strong financial control. - **Data Bars** in the "Total Labor Cost" column to visually compare spending across employees.
