Formulas Required for Dynamic Calculations
- Cash Flow Formula: In the “Cash Flow Projections” table:
= [Expected Income] - [Expected Expenses] - Running Balance:
= Previous Running Balance + Cash Inflow(e.g., in cell G10, if G9 is prior balance and E10 is inflow:=G9+E10) - Variance Analysis:
= [Actual] - [Budgeted]to track over/under-spending in the “Budget vs Actuals” sheet. - Net Cash Flow (Summary):
= SUM('Cash Flow Projections'!E:E) - SUM('Cash Flow Projections'!F:F) - Conditional Formatting Rules: Used to color-code cash flow status.
Conditional Formatting
To enhance visual clarity and financial oversight, the template includes the following conditional formatting rules:
- Negative Cash Flow: Red fill with white text for any negative cash inflow (e.g., outflow > inflow).
- High Variance: Amber background if variance exceeds 15% of the budgeted amount.
- Budget Status Indicator: Green (if actual ≤ budget), Red (if actual > budget), using a formula like:
=IF([Actual] <= [Budget], "Green", "Red")
