Table Structures & Column Details (Debt Budget Tracker)

The primary table resides in the “Debt Budget Tracker” sheet and is structured as follows:

Formulas Required

• Budget Variance ($): =E3-F3 (where E is Budgeted Amount, F is Actual)
• Variance %: =IF(E3<>0, (E3-F3)/E3, 0)
• Status (KPI):

  =IF(G3>0,"On Track", IF(G3>-15%,"At Risk", "Over Budget"))

  This formula uses percentage variance to assign color-coded status.
• Auto-Update Last Updated: Use an event-driven VBA script or a dynamic cell that updates on any edit (via =NOW() in a helper column, though manual refresh recommended).

Conditional Formatting

The template uses conditional formatting to enhance visual clarity:

• Status Column: Green background for "On Track", Yellow for "At Risk", Red for "Over Budget".
• Variance % Column: Red text and bold if negative, green if positive.
• Budget Variance ($): Shaded in light red when negative, light green when positive.
