Formulas Required

• Gross Profit = Net Revenue – COGS: Auto-calculated in the relevant row.

• Net Income = Operating Income + Non-Operating Items – Taxes: Uses a tax rate from the "Assumptions & Settings" sheet.
• Variance (Actual - Budget): = 'Current Period'!B2 - 'Current Period'!C2
• Variance %: = IF('Current Period'!C2=0, 0, ('Current Period'!B2-'Current Period'!C2)/ABS('Current Period'!C2))
• YoY Growth %: = IF(HistoricalData!D4=0, 0, (IncomeStatement!B4 - HistoricalData!D4) / ABS(HistoricalData!D4))

To enhance visual KPI monitoring and highlight performance deviations:

• Variance % in Red/Green: Values > 5% above budget turn green; values > 5% below budget turn red.
