  Formulas Required

  • =SUM() for total budget and actual spend.

  • =D2/B2*100 to calculate % variance (with error handling: =IF(B2=0, 0, D2/B2*100)).
  • =SUMIF(Marketing Budget Allocation!$C:$C, [Category], Monthly Expense Tracker!$D:$D) to auto-populate actual spend from transaction logs.
  • =MAX(0, MIN(Budgeted Amount - SUMIFS(...), 0)) to show remaining budget per category.

  Conditional Formatting Rules

  • Variance (%) > 15%: Red background — signals overspending beyond tolerance.
  • Variance (%) between -10% and 15%: Yellow background — warning zone.
  • Variance (%) < -10%: Green background — under-spending, potential savings or missed opportunity.
  • Priority Level = High: Bold text + blue border to highlight critical items.
  • Receipt Attached? = N: Red text and icon indicator for compliance tracking.
