Formulas & Calculations

The template uses dynamic array formulas and structured references for accuracy and scalability:

• Net Amount (Revenue): =Amount * (1 - Tax Rate)

• Cumulative Year-to-Date Profit: Using SUBTOTAL with running totals across months.

These formulas auto-update when new data is entered, ensuring real-time financial insights.
