=SUMIF(ExpenseTracker!B:B, "Venue Rental", ExpenseTracker!D:D): Sums expenses by category (e.g., all venue-related costs).
=SUM(RevenueTracker!D:D): Calculates total revenue for the month.
=SUM(CashFlowSummary!C:C) - SUM(CashFlowSummary!D:D): Computes net cash flow per month.
=IF(E2>0, "Positive", "Negative"): Labels each period as positive or negative cash flow.
=B2+C2-D2 (in Closing Cash Balance column): Calculates closing balance using starting balance, income, and expenses.
=SUMIF(ExpenseTracker!B:B, "Marketing", ExpenseTracker!D:D): Enables monthly tracking of specific expense types.
Conditional Formatting
To enhance visual clarity and highlight critical financial trends:
Net cash flow cells: Green if positive (>0), red if negative (<0).
Closing Cash Balance: Amber background if below $10,000 (warning threshold).
Expense rows exceeding 8% of total event budget are highlighted in light orange.
