Table Structures and Columns (Weekly Budget Tracker)

The Weekly Budget Tracker sheet features a structured table with the following columns:

Column	Data Type	Description
Week Ending Date	Date (DD/MM/YYYY)	Specifies the closing date of the week being tracked. Auto-filled using a drop-down calendar or dynamic date formula.
Budget Category	Text / Dropdown List	Categorizes expenditure: e.g., Marketing, Salaries, Software Licenses, Travel, etc. Predefined categories with validation.
Planned Budget (Weekly)	Number (Currency Format)	The allocated budget for this category for the week. Must be entered at the start of each cycle.
Actual Spend	Number (Currency Format)	Amount actually spent during the week. Updated by finance or team leads.
Variance (Actual - Planned)	Number (Currency, Negative/Positive Highlighted)	Automatically calculated as: Actual Spend – Planned Budget. Positive = over budget; negative = under budget.
Variance %	Percentage (with 1 decimal)	Formula: (Variance / Planned Budget) × 100. Indicates deviation from target as a percentage.
KPI Name	Text / Dropdown List	Links to KPIs defined in the "KPI Definitions" sheet (e.g., Customer Acquisition Cost, Website Conversion Rate).
Target Value (KPI)	Number or Percentage	The expected value for the KPI this week, as per business goals.

Status (KPI)	Text (Conditional Status)	Dynamically displays “On Track,” “At Risk,” or “Off Track” based on variance thresholds.

Formulas Required

This template leverages robust Excel formulas to ensure automation and accuracy:

Variance (Actual - Planned): =D2-C2 (in “Variance” column)
Variance %: =IF(C2=0,"N/A",E2/C2)
KPI Status: =IF(ABS(G2)>0.1,"Off Track", IF(ABS(G2)<=0.1,"On Track","At Risk")) (Adjust thresholds based on business needs.)
Weekly Budget Utilization Rate: =IF(C2=0, "N/A", D2/C2) — displayed as percentage.
Cumulative Actual Spend (per category): Use SUMIFS across weeks to aggregate totals for reporting.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity and immediate insight, the following formatting rules are applied:

Variance (Actual - Planned):
- Red font & fill if > 0 (over budget)
- Green font & fill if ≤ 0 (under budget)
Variances %:
- Amber highlight for |Variance%| between 10% and 25%
