Formulas Required
The following formulas are implemented across the sheets for automation and accuracy:- Budget Summary Sheet – Monthly Income:
=SUMIF(DataEntry!$D:$D, "Income", DataEntry!$E:$E)— Calculates total income per month. - Monthly Expenses (by category):
=SUMIFS(DataEntry!$E:$E, DataEntry!$D:$D, "Expense", DataEntry!$C:$C, "Housing") - KPI: % of Income Saved:
=IFERROR((SUMIF(DataEntry!$D:$D,"Income",DataEntry!$E:$E) - SUMIFS(DataEntry!$E:$E,DataEntry!$D:$D,"Expense")) / SUMIF(DataEntry!$D:$D,"Income",DataEntry!$E:$E), 0)
Formatted as percentage (e.g., 25%). - KPI: Budget Variance per Category:
=SUMIFS(DataEntry!$E:$E, DataEntry!$C:$C, [Category], DataEntry!$D:$D, "Expense") - SUMIFS(DataEntry!$F:$F, DataEntry!$C:$C, [Category]) - Status Column (Data Entry Sheet):
=IF(E2>0,"Income", IF(E2<0, IF(ABS(E2)>F2,"Over Budget", "On Track"), "Not Applicable")) - Monthly Net Cash Flow:
=SUMIF(DataEntry!$D:$D, "Income", DataEntry!$E:$E) + SUMIF(DataEntry!$D:$D, "Expense", DataEntry!$E:$E)
Conditional Formatting
Enhances visual clarity by highlighting critical financial statuses:- Over Budget Cells (Expenses > Budgeted): Red fill with white text.
- Savings Rate ≥ 15%: Green highlight; below 10%, red warning.
- Budget Variance > $50 (absolute): Yellow background to flag outliers.
