Formulas Required

The template relies on dynamic Excel formulas to ensure automation, accuracy, and real-time insights:

Weekly Budget Summary (Main Dashboard):
- =SUMIFS('Weekly Budget Tracker'!$D:$D,'Weekly Budget Tracker'!$A:$A,"<="&DATE(2024,1,27), 'Weekly Budget Tracker'!$A:$A,">="&DATE(2024,1,20)) → Total income for the week.
- =SUMIFS('Weekly Budget Tracker'!$E:$E,'Weekly Budget Tracker'!$A:$A,"<="&DATE(2024,1,27), 'Weekly Budget Tracker'!$A:$A,">="&DATE(2024,1,20)) → Total expenses for the week.
- =F5-G5 → Net balance (Income - Expenses) on dashboard.
Inventory Reorder Trigger (Inventory Log):
- =IF([@Current Stock Count] <= [@Reorder Threshold], "Reorder Required", "In Stock") → Automatically flags items needing restock.
Next Expected Reorder Date:
- =IF([@Last Purchase Date] = "", "", [@Last Purchase Date] + 14) → Assumes a 2-week usage cycle; adjusts based on actual consumption rate.
Inventory Value Calculation:
- =[@Current Stock Count] * [@Unit Price] → Total monetary value of current inventory.

Conditional Formatting

The template uses conditional formatting to enhance readability and alert users to critical issues:

Budget Exceeded: If expense amount exceeds budgeted target, cells turn red with a warning icon.
Reorder Needed: Items where current stock ≤ reorder threshold are highlighted in yellow.
Negative Net Balance: In the dashboard, if weekly net balance is negative, the cell turns bright red and shows "Over Budget".
Budget Utilization Rate: A progress bar is applied to show percentage of budget used per category (e.g., 75% used → 3/4 filled).
