| Amount ($) | Numeric (Currency Format) | Dollar amount of expenditure or cost associated with the logistics activity. |
| Frequency | Text/List (Daily, Weekly, Bi-weekly, Monthly) | Used to auto-generate recurring entries in budget calculations. |
| Status (Logistics only) | List: Pending, In Transit, Delivered, Delayed | Tracks delivery or service progress. |
Budget Summary Sheet
Automatically aggregates data from the Data Entry sheet using pivot tables and formulas.
| Column Header | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Budget Category | Text (from Data Entry) | E.g., Food, Utilities, Transport. |
| Budgeted Amount ($) | Numeric | Planned monthly budget per category. |
| Actual Spent ($) | Numeric (Formula-based) | =SUMIFS(DataEntry!$E:$E, DataEntry!$C:$C, "Food") |
| Remaining Budget ($) | Numeric (Formula-based) | =Budgeted Amount - Actual Spent |
| Over/Under Budget (%) | Percentage (Conditional Formatting applied) | =IF(ActualSpent > Budgeted, "Over", "Under") |
Formulas Required
- Pivot Table Creation: On the Budget Summary sheet, create a pivot table using data from Data Entry to group by Category and calculate sum of Amount.
=SUMIFS(DataEntry!$E:$E, DataEntry!$C:$C, "Food"): Sums all expenses under 'Food' category.=COUNTIF(DataEntry!$D:$D, "Logistics"): Counts total logistics events per period.=AVERAGEIFS(DataEntry!$E:$E, DataEntry!$C:$C, "Transport"): Calculates average transportation cost.=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B2, BudgetRange, 2, FALSE), 0): Retrieves budgeted values from a master budget table.=COUNTIF(LogisticsTracker!$F:$F, "Delayed"): Tracks delayed logistics events for alerts.
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Highlight over-budget categories in red if Remaining Budget is negative.
- Color-code logistics status: green ("Delivered"), yellow ("In Transit"), red ("Delayed").
- Apply data bars to Actual Spent column for visual comparison across categories.
- Use icon sets (traffic lights) on the Over/Under Budget percentage to show performance at a glance.
