- **Overtime Calculation**: `=IF((End Time - Start Time)*24 > 8, (End Time - Start Time)*24 - 8, 0)` This calculates any hours exceeding an 8-hour shift. - **Regular Hours**: `=MIN(8, (End Time - Start Time)*24)` Ensures no more than eight regular hours are counted per day. - **Total Pay**: `=Regular Pay + Overtime Pay` - **Variance Analysis (in Budget & Cost Analysis)**: `=VLOOKUP([Event Name], Event Details!$A:$F, 5, FALSE) - SUMIF(Staff Payroll Tracker!$C:$C, [Event Name], Staff Payroll Tracker!$I:$I)` This pulls the budget and subtracts actual labor spend. - **Dynamic Status Indicator (in Event Overview)**: `=IF([Date] < TODAY(), "Completed", IF([Date] >= TODAY(), "In Progress", "Planned"))`CONDITIONAL FORMATTING
- **Red Highlight** for negative variance (overspent budget) in “Variance (Budget - Actual)” column. - **Green Highlight** for positive variance (under budget). - **Yellow Background** for events where total payroll cost exceeds 90% of the allocated budget. - **Color Scale** applied to "Actual Payroll Cost" to visualize high vs. low spend. - Conditional formatting on “Status” cell based on date comparison with TODAY().INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER
1. Open the Excel file and enable macros (if prompted) for full functionality. 2. Begin by populating the **Team Roster** with all staff members, including their hourly rate and role. 3. Add all planned events in the **Event Details** sheet, assigning a unique Event ID. 4. For each event day, enter shifts into the **Staff Payroll Tracker**, linking to correct Event Name and Employee ID. 5. Use the drop-down menus for consistency (e.g., Status, Role). 6. The **Event Overview** sheet will auto-update with key metrics—check weekly to monitor budget health. 7. Use the **Budget & Cost Analysis** sheet to generate monthly forecasts and identify cost-saving opportunities.EXAMPLE ROWS
