Formulas Required

- =IF(Variance > 0, "Over", IF(Variance = 0, "On Track", "Under")): Auto-determines budget status.
- =IF(Actual Value >= Target * 1.05, "Exceeding", IF(Actual Value >= Target * 0.95, "On Track", "Below Target")): Defines KPI performance thresholds.
Conditional Formatting Rules
- **Budget Variance Columns:** - Red fill forVariance < -10% (Under Budget).
- Amber fill for -10% ≤ Variance ≤ +5%.
- Green fill for Variance > +5% (Over Budget, but positive variance).
- **KPI Status Cells:**
- Red font/Background: “Below Target”.
- Yellow: “On Track”.
- Green: “Exceeding”.
- **Critical Alerts:** Any row with a negative variance exceeding 15% triggers a red border and icon (⚠️).
