Formulas Required
- In
Budget Allocation, column Remaining Budget ($): =Allocated Amount - SUMIF(Expense Tracker!B:B, [Team Member Name], Expense Tracker!F:F) - In the
Summary Dashboard, total spend: =SUM(Expense Tracker!F:F) - Budget utilization % per member: =(Total Spent / Allocated Amount)*100
- Conditional formula to flag overspending: =IF(Remaining Budget<0,"OVER BUDGET","Within Budget")
- Dynamic dropdowns using Excel’s Data Validation with Named Ranges from Team Member Profiles and Budget Categories.
Conditional Formatting
- Red highlight: Any expense line where “Amount Spent” causes total spend to exceed allocation (linked via formula).
- Yellow highlight: When remaining budget is below 15% of allocated amount.
- Green highlight: If receipt attached = “Yes” and within budget.
- Status color coding: Active = Green, Expired = Gray, On Hold = Orange (on Budget Allocation sheet).
Instructions for the User
Step 1: Each team member must complete their profile in “Team Member Profiles” with name, role, and email.
Step 2: Marketing lead assigns budget categories and amounts under “Budget Allocation.” Use dropdowns to maintain consistency.
Step 3: Every team member logs expenses weekly in “Expense Tracker.” Attach receipts as scans or links via column G.
Step 4: Check the “Summary Dashboard” daily. It auto-updates spend vs. budget, shows top 5 expenses, and flags overspending.
Step 5: At month-end, review “Monthly Comparison” to see trends and adjust Q3/Q4 budgets accordingly.
Pro Tip: Use the Notes & Guidelines sheet for templates of expense descriptions and approved vendors. No personal expenses allowed—all costs must tie back to a Marketing Plan objective.
