Table Structure: Profit Tracker Sheet

The primary table resides on the “Profit Tracker” sheet and follows a relational structure for accurate tracking:

Formulas Required

• Total Cost ($): =F1+G1
• Net Profit ($): =E1-H1
• Profit Margin (%): =IF(E1=0, "N/A", (I1/E1)*100)
• Auto-Generated Transaction ID: Use a combination of text and COUNTA for sequential numbering: =CONCATENATE("TXN", TEXT(ROW()-1,"000")) (placed in A2, copied down).
• Daily/Period Summary Calculations: On the Client Summary sheet, use SUMIFS, AVERAGEIFS, and COUNTIFS to pull data from the Profit Tracker by client and billing period.

Conditional Formatting (Dashboard & Client Summary)

To enhance readability and highlight performance trends:

• Net Profit ($): Green for positive, red for negative values.
• Profit Margin (%): Use a color scale: deep green (>30%), yellow (15–30%), orange (<15%), red (negative).
• Status Column: Color-coded: Green ("Paid"), Yellow ("Pending Payment"), Red ("Invoiced").
• Monthly Trends: Apply data bars to show revenue growth or decline visually.
