Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance data visualization and quick insight:- Over Budget Alerts: If actual spending exceeds budget by more than 5%, highlight in red using conditional formatting with formula:
=C2 > B2 * 1.05 - Delivery Delays: Highlight delayed deliveries (Delay > 0) in yellow; early deliveries (<0) in green.
- KPI Health Status: Use data bars for "Total Monthly Cost" and "On-Time Rate" to show performance trends visually.
- Variance Colors: Apply color scales: negative variance in red, positive in green.
