Formulas Required for Automation and Accuracy
- Total Monthly Expenses (Sheet 1): `=SUMIF(BudgetTracker[Type], "Expense", BudgetTracker[Amount])`
- % Budget Used (Sheet 4): `=Actual Spend / Budgeted Amount`
- Conditional Status Color Coding: Use formula in Conditional Formatting:
`=AND(Status="In Transit", Delivery_Date < TODAY()+3)` → Highlight in yellow
- Upcoming Deadlines (Sheet 3): `=IF(ABS(Delivery_Date-TODAY())<=7, "Urgent", "")`
- Total Logistics Cost (Dashboard): `=SUM(Logistics_Schedule[Fuel_Cost])`
Conditional Formatting Rules
Apply these rules across relevant sheets:
- **Red**: If % of Budget Used > 100%
- **Yellow**: If actual spend > 90% of budget
- **Green**: If actual spend ≤ 80% of budget
- Highlight upcoming delivery dates (within next 3 days) in bold yellow with red border.
- Use color scales for fuel cost trends over time.
