- =IF(ActualSpend > BudgetedAmount, "Over", IF(ActualSpend = BudgetedAmount, "On", "Under")) for status labeling.
- =SUMIFS(MonthlyBreakdown!D:D, MonthlyBreakdown!B:B, ExpenseCategories!A2) to roll up monthly totals by department.
- =SUM(BudgetOverview!B2:B5) - SUM(BudgetOverview!C2:C5) for total variance calculations.
- =IF(Variance% > 10%, "High Risk", IF(Variance% > 3%, "Medium Risk", "Normal")) for risk categorization.
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance visual analysis, the following rules are pre-configured: - **Red fill** for variance percentages exceeding +10%. - **Amber fill** for variance between +3% and +10%. - **Green fill** for under-budget scenarios (variance ≤ -5%). - **Bold text with red border** applied to any monthly actual spend that exceeds its budgeted amount.User Instructions
