Table Structure and Columns (Income Statement - Main Sheet)

The Income Statement is organized into a vertical, hierarchical table structure with three main sections:

1. Revenue Section
2. Operating Expenses Section
3. Net Profit/Loss Calculation

Column Definitions and Data Types:

Formulas Required (Key Calculations)

• Total Revenue (B4, C4, D4): Use =SUM(B6:B7), copied across columns.
• Total Operating Expenses (B16, C16, D16): Use =SUM(B9:B13).
• Net Profit/Loss: In the final row, use formulas like =B15-B16, which automatically calculate monthly profit or loss.
• Year-to-Date (YTD) Totals: Add a separate row at the bottom using =SUM(B4:D4) for cumulative totals.
• % of Revenue (Optional): In a new column, calculate expense as percentage of revenue: =B16/B15*100.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance readability and highlight financial performance:

• Negative Net Profit (Loss): Apply red fill with white text to cells where net profit is negative.
• High Expense Category: Highlight any expense exceeding 10% of total revenue in yellow with bold text.
• Increase/Decrease Trends: Use data bars for monthly revenue and expense columns to visualize growth patterns.
• Benchmark Comparison: If a target profit is set (e.g., $10,000), highlight cells above that threshold in green.
